could be that "Materials World" is a very broad term, but I haven't been able to find any sources on it minus the website of the organisation linked on the article that writes the zine and one website linking to the publisher of the zine.

website claims that it's "widely accepted as the leading publication in its field, promoting the latest developments and new technologies" but I haven't been able to locate anything that would confirm this and I haven't been able to find anything that cites this zine at all.

article has had one singular source for 3 years (added 11 years after its creation in 2009 by what seems to be a single-purpose account as it made the one singular edit creating this page and then disappeared) and the body has remained almost completely the same since its creation. —darling (talk) 22:36, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Delete - Seems like it's had no real edits since it was created and there's nothing I can find online in terms of coverage. BrigadierG (talk) 22:56, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to IOM3. This is a real scholarly periodical: take a look at the sample issue on the Taylor & Francis website here. Skimming the table of contents is enough to see that this is a serious publication featuring prominent scholars at reputable institutions. Looking further for coverage of it I found that the description mimics (maybe too closely -- I'm too tired to pursue that thought) the material on the IOM3 website here, explaining that Materials World is their publication. So my thinking is that the magazine itself is not independently notable so far as I can tell, but at least the core description of it should be moved from this page to the page for IOM3. - Astrophobe (talk) 02:54, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to IOM3#Activities where the magazine's mentioned under the publications subheading and it's a membership journal. Wouldn't advise merging the article text because as the contributor above says it's almost a replication of the Institute's blurb. Rupples (talk) 01:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
