The creator removed a PROD in December 2010 but no one noticed and the article has stayed in this state ever since. Unreferenced, a personal reflection or essay. WP:OR. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:42, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been there for over a year and a half and other persons has edit it also, your AfD looks more like a personal matter at the moment and therefor is not considered to be on behalf of Wikipedia. I removed your AfD therefor.--S.A. de Ruiter 17:46, 30 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saruiter (talk • contribs)

There is nothing personal in this, but it stands to reason that if one article is up for deletion, the author's other creations will also be examined. Other users edited the article because the fact that you removed the PROD without addressing the issue simply went unnoticed. Removing AfD templates is against policy.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:06, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Classic example of a deletion candidate which is hard to explain, but isn't really about a "thing". Article uses no source and a search throws up nothing to support the article. Agree with nom, delete as OR essay. Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 22:12, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I think it's far more often stated as an aphorism about computer programming projects. Merge to Project_management_triangle#Example. -- AnonMoos (talk) 01:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete AnonMoos has pointed to a more nuanced and contextualised discussion at the Project_management_triangle article. I'm not seeing anything in the unreferenced IDF model article which could be used to improve that article. That leaves the question of whether a redirect would be appropriate? But I'm not finding any specific use of the "IDF model" as a term that would make that appropriate (and it could cause confusion for other IDF models such as Ideal free distribution).

Delete - The material here is unsourced, and IDF Model as a redirect makes no sense as I cannot find any sources referring to this by that name. -- Whpq (talk) 15:10, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
