Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theatre Annual: A Journal of Performance Studies
I might be persuaded otherwise by an editor with special expertise in this branch of academic studies, but at first sight this appears to be a perfectly reasonable academic journal, and I had no particular difficulty in finding references to articles it has published. The problem with academic journals generally is that it's easy to prove existence, but it's much more difficult to prove notability for them. The people who publish in them, and even some particular articles in these journals, can easily be shown to be notable, but this is not the same thing as journal notability. In this case, I think the best thing to do is |assume good faith in the above comment that this is one of the more significant journals in this field. If an expert in theatre studies claims otherwise, I could be persuaded otherwise, but for now I feel the balance leans towards "keep". For comparison, we have articles on the top five journals in List_of_economics_journals|my own academic area (indeed, we have many more than that!). In other areas, we are similarly comprehensive - see, for example, List_of_history_journals and List_of_physics_journals. I see no reason not to apply the same standards to theatre and performance studies
