- Delete the sources added (including LinkedIn) do not support notability. Mccapra ( talk) 05:36, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete None of the sources recently added demonstrate notability. The overwhelming majority of both new and old sources are about former editors or from the journal or its publishing institution. The sole exception is a link to a journal database that only verifies that the journal exists. There is no indication in these sources or in sources available through standard searches that there is anything notable about the journal itself. Looking further at the content, this appears to be of a type of academic journal that exists mostly to give students published credits and experience for CV's and doesn't actually generate much towards the academic conversation.

All the above is correct, bar the very last sentence. This is incorrect. Interstate does not exist to give 'students published credits and experience for CVs' as all future Issues (and former issues until 1985) will comprise of 75% area specialists/academics and 25% students whereas the blog (unrelated) will only feature students. It would be wise to conduct research before making such a bold claim. For the upcoming first Issue of 2020 Interstate will feature renowned academics and area specialists such as Ken Booth, Jenny Mathers, Alexandra Paulus, Jeff Bridoux, Iasson Chryssikos, Nicola Leveringhaus, James Rogers, and Eluned Morgan.
