Article PRODed with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODed by creator with reason "Optics Continuum is a revamped version of OSA's OSA Continuum journal. This allows to broaden the research span of the journal along with serving multiple disciplines of the research. Since it was just launched in Jan 2022, it might be few months to be included in Scopus and Clarivate databases. I will keep a close watch on the database and journal's notability. However, I think we should give it due time before decision of deletion. Thank you! :-)" However, beside the fact that Scopus and Clarivate will treat this as a journal that only just started (so that indexing is likely quite q while away), this journal is included in not a single database (selective or not) and (not very surprising) there are no in-depth sources that meet the requirements of GNG. PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 18:18, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as I notice OSA Continuum itself has only existed for 4 years [1]. If it were a long-established journal it would be reasonable to write a WP article about it, including the change of name; as it is, it doesn't yet have an article, so it might make more sense to wait until the new incarnation has acquired a reputation, i.e. WP:TOOSOON makes sense.

• Redirect to Optica_(society)#Primary_journals, where OSA Continuum is mentioned. I agree that there is insufficient independent sourcing to support a standalone article at this point. But it is verifiable that this is a journal published under the Optica umbrella and it is a reasonable search term. In this case, a redirect is a good alternative to deletion, per WP:ATD. --((u|Mark viking)) {Talk} 11:36, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
