First, some context: this article forms part of a WP:Walled garden created by User:ATuschinski about his family members. The article on the founder of the journal that forms the subject of this nomination just got torched. Second, the case for deletion is straightforward: lack of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Almost every citation is to the journal itself. The one significant exception, the article by Mircea Duțu, devotes approximately half a line to this publication: see here, top of page 220. There is nothing to establish encyclopedic notability here. Biruitorul ^Talk 10:31, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Subject does not satisfy WP:NJOURNAL. The article is a blatant WP:COATRACK created by the promotional ATuschinski account to allow further lionisation of his non-notable ancestors and their run-of-the-mill endeavours. Axad12 (talk) 11:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I took a look at this article yesterday in light of the other Tuschinski family-history articles and I almost nominated it for deletion myself. It's clear that this is what is what some call a "walled-garden" of articles and that it is an effort to promote the Tuschinski family, as well as their works; WP:COI and WP:NPOV apply to this orchestration of family-history articles. No disrespect is intended towards the family itself, however Wikipedia is not the right venue for this. The creator of these article should please consider setting up a personal website for this, or using social media or venues like Ancestry.com instead. As stated in the nomination, the article is essentially self-sourced to the journal that was founded and was edited by a Tuschinski); the article was created by a family member who also wrote a self-published book on the founder. Lots of connections here. The journal does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:NJOURNAL either; journals do not have inherent notability, nor do they inherit notability from those who write for them, nor those who are written about in the journal, nor those who publish them. A BEFORE search does not find independent significant coverage in reliable sources about the journal itself. Netherzone (talk) 17:09, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Insufficient coverage. Tgvarrt (talk) 14:15, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
