Deletion of Problems of Onomastics

Comment: I would also accept a Merge, a/c {{U|Mark Viking}}) . The criteria we have been using for academic journals work nicely for journals in the academic mainstream in the sciences; they do not work well for journals whose notability is primarily limited to a particular country.  In almost all other fields at WP, national significance is all that is asked for. I think it should apply here also, and the fundamental reason is ultural bias. Otherwise we risk becoming only an encyclopedia of what is notable in the major English speaking countries, and such is not our intentions.   This journal is apparently part of the Russian academic mainstream, and therefore notable there; I consider this sufficient. I do not think there is however consensus among the very few of us working on academic journals about this, and would accept that in a period of unsettled consensus, a possible  way to go for the time being might be to find some sort of merge

Comment: selective merge) to Russian Language Institute. Contrary to Randykitty's assertion, some editors like myself do consider Worldcat holdings as contributing evidence toward notability. But in my opinion, Worldcat holdings are not quite enough by themselves to establish notability, as libraries can carry journals for many reasons other than importance. Other evidence toward notability is a mention of the journal in the article http://nevtan.arts.unideb.hu/nevtan/tagozat/06hajdu.pdf The History of Onomastics. I've also seen it claimed that the journal is indexed in the Russian Science Citation Index and was one of the approved journals by the Higher Attestation Commission of the Soviet Union, but I wasn't able to verify either claim--my Russian-fu is terrible. At this point, there isn't enough evidence of notability per  or ournals for this article to survive standalone. But basic facts about the journal are verifiable, and per  and , verifiable information should be preserved, not deleted. The journal is sponsored by the Russian Language Institute--it would make sense to selectively merge a mention of the journal in that article. The topic is a plausible search term, so a redirect is warranted, too
