neutral  Edward Plaisance Jr: The title in the web link is actually a rather clever joke on the idea of many women having "irregular (menstrual) periods". It certainly could be used to describe a periodical which is not published regularly, but it is not the common way of saying it.

  -> Interesting title, I didn't notice the idea behind it! Regarding the term, I understand your point, but think the asker's emphasis is on "irregularity" of the publication, as strictly classified by وزارت ارشاد اسلامی so there may be a definitive term.
