Condorcet Instant Runoff Voting
This was blanked by an WP:XD-er, with a somewhat dismissive edit summary questioning the method's existence. Google would seem to have similar problems with it. Delete invented voting scheme. Can I use the word voting for a change? -Splash talk 22:02, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment "Can I use the word voting for a change?" How nostalgic! HackJandy 22:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * If it can be documented with references, it should be kept; if not, delete. It appears to be a variant of two widely-used voting methods, neither of which is done here. 147.70.242.21 23:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Where is here? Peyna 00:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Last time I checked, this is a page for voting for/against deleting an article about a voting method. B.Wind 04:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps 147.70.242.21 was referring to the place he was at when he wrote that message. Therefore, all we can be certain of is that at 147.70.242.21's house they don't use a Condorcet or Instant Runoff Voting.  Either way, it was a pretty ambiguous statement and I refuse to believe he was merely referring to AfD. Peyna 04:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Condorcet method, if this info is not already there, and if someone can cite a source. There is a Condorcet-Smith system, of which this seems to be a modification. --  Dalbury ( Talk )  03:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - normally I'd say merge or keep but four Google hits including this one indicates either original research or a very substantial verifiability problem. Or maybe a neologism.  Or a hoax.  Or something else that WP:ISNOT. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 16:54, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Articles for deletion/Condorcet Approval Instant Runoff Voting. BD2412  T 18:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
