Notability

In response to the proposed deletion, I'd note that SDÁ is notable as it is the first, if not the only, peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing only in Northern Sámi. There is not much written about the journal itself, but it is widely cited in books and articles discussing Sámi issues, languages, culture, etc. Carter (talk) 17:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding on this, SDÁ is a Level 2 publication in the Norwegian Scientific Index, which is "reserved for the internationally most prestigious publication channels," marking it as being in the top 20% of serious publication channels in its discipline. As the article notes, it has also been recognized as an important channel and marker of the recognition and academic acceptance of the Northern Sámi language.

I am surprised that following a "no consenus" conclusion to the previous discussion, the article has immediately been AfD'd once again on the grounds of lack of notability. Notability has been clearly demonstrated by the sources in the article.--Ipigott (talk) 10:13, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

??? The article is not at AfD, it has merely been tagged for notability, which following the previous AfD was not unequivocally established. All sources were available during the AfD and did not suffice to establish a consensus. --Randykitty (talk) 10:21, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, the previous AfD's lack of consensus owes more to a lack of participation, not the merits of the article or the notability of the subject. Carter (talk) 14:06, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
