I have proposed this article for deletion according to WP:NN. This article fails to meet the criteria set forth as follows:


 * Significant Coverage: Single source provided covers only the topic of the article as an illustration.
 * Reliable: The single source provided is clearly not reliable as it is from an information technology magazine, which has no claim to editorial prowess in the field of project management.
 * Sources: There is only one source provided which refers to this diagram, and not even by the title given in this article.
 * Independent of the subject: The author of the only provided source is the one for which the eponymous diagram is named and is therefore completely subjective. --DCrazy talk/contrib 17:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as spam - I've tagged it as such. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 17:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Not speedy, since it's not blatant advertising for the magazine cited. Beyond that, I believe I've seen this diagram used in recent Agile process books, but I haven't seen it referred to with this name.  I'll check for external sources. Tlesher 17:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Didn't find it where I thought I'd seen it. Objection withdrawn. Tlesher 01:19, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I still think it's spam - not for the magazine, but for Mr. Mayo-Smith and his methods. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 18:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * delete nn neologism. `'Míkka 17:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not as spam, but as trivial and non-notable. This sort of thing is properly not speedy-able, because it needs wider attention to see if it might perhaps be important, but I think a prod would have been appropriate. DGG (talk) 00:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment My prod was reverted after precisely six hours by the same IP who edited the article most frequently. --DCrazy talk/contrib 05:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
