Hierarchical incompetence

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

pure essay, complete with recommendation at the end. abstract concept that fails WP:GNG, part of great circle of essays that include Articles for deletion/Relevance paradox, Articles for deletion/Lateral media, Articles for deletion/Central media, etc —Мандичка YO 😜 15:01, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a widely used term; certainly hierarchies can be incompetent, but so can cricketers and we don't have an article "cricket incompetence". Seems to be an attempt to promote a book: David, Andrews (1984). The IRG Solution - Hierarchical Incompetence and how to overcome it.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Reads like an essay, and primarily OR. I don't find the term widely used. There is one other book of essays that isn't listed as a reference here with Hierarchical Incompetence in its title, but it appears to be the product of a vanity press. LaMona (talk) 16:12, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - pure WP:ADMASQ with weasel words and speculation about WW2. I wonder why it was relisted. Tigraan (talk) 10:00, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete and wrap the phone lines in aluminum foil: this is boosting of a little world a people who have uncovered The Answer. The "See Also" list is practically a guide to "AfD also," because what's going on here is someone/some thing with a faith in "IRG." Run! Run for your life! (I remember the "neurolinguistic programming" maniacs once had built a little private empire at Wikipedia.) Delete as jargon, self-referentiality, tautology, and failure to be academically established. Hithladaeus (talk) 19:34, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
