Initial comments

Recommend Keep. This journal is a long-standing journal in the relatively new field of computer science education. The Journal is indexed by several highly recognized services in computer science (in which ACM is arguably the top professional organization). The journal has significant coverage in Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Search, including journal articles with hundreds of citations.

This journal is second in importance only to the top journal in the field, the ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education. This information was not available in the original version of the article, and has been added to address the concerns raised. I believe these improvements address both WP:GNG demonstrating coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject and WP:NJournals in that coverage by various Association for Computing Machinery services (ACM is among the most prestigious professional organizations in the field of computer science), demonstrate that it is significant, interesting, or unusual enough to be worthy of notice, as established by reliable sources.

The speedy deletion notice itself includes "Scholar" as a way to search for external coverage - a quick search lists over 10,000 hits. (Some of us academics live in Google Scholar. In the field of computer science especially, it is a very important search engine (comparable to some other notable sites that focus more on the humanities, law, etc.) Cypherquest (talk) 16:54, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
