Doesn't meet WP:N. Possible WP:ATD is redirect to publisher, but not mentioned in that article. Also a potentially ambiguous term - could just as well be redirected to the Wales page's sectino covering modern history. Boleyn (talk) 11:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to draft. Quite an old article and clearly unacceptable in its present form but could possibly be rescued. Deb (talk) 08:35, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to draft. Concur with Deb Sheijiashaojun (talk) 22:25, 14 August 2021 (UTC) Later convinced by comments below, so Delete. 23:28, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This article has been around since 2009 and I don't see why moving it to draft would suddenly motivate editors to go out looking for sources. As the nom mentions, the title is an ambiguous search term and not surprisingly a Google search gives lots of hits but nothing about this journal. MIAR does not list any database including this journal. I also failed to find a current homepage for the journal. It's not on the website of its publisher (University of Wales Press) nor can I find a website for the "Board of Celtic Studies", even though the Welsh National Library says that it is still published (but only lists issues until 2000). As I cannot even verify that the journal still exists, I see no other option than deletion. --Randykitty (talk) 07:50, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as an apparently-defunct minor journal (last issue I can find 2014 [1]) with no sourced evidence of greater significance or in-depth coverage. I don't see the point in moving to draft; that's just a way of saying "delete by the back door in six months". If you want to fix it up so that it can be saved from deletion, do it now, don't just hope that someone else might find the interest to rescue it. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
