Wagile software development

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Violates WP:NEO. Not notable. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Not to be confused with Agile software development. —  Newslinger  talk   13:19, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Agreed with the proposer, Newslinger. This is a neologism that combines the Waterfall model of software development with Agile software development but it is not in widespread use and never really caught on, failing WP:NEO. It only seems to be mentioned on a very small number of websites, mostly just blogs, none of which would be considered reliable, independent sources, failing WP:GNG. And the capitalization isn't even standardized, some sources capitalize it as "WAgile" instead of "Wagile". As a programmer myself, I had never heard of "Wagile" software development before seeing this AfD nomination, and while combining aspects of the Waterfall model with Agile software development is a useful idea for software development, this neologism never really caught on for describing that idea so I can't see any justification to keep the article. If there WERE anything useful in this article I would propose merging it into Agile software development but this article is just a stub with nothing useful in it, just throw it away, don't bother merging.

 * Delete. As both nom and Yetisyny state, there's really nothing here beyond a neologism. The term might have caught on, but it didn't. The article hasn't gone anywhere since 2009, and given the defunct status of the term, it isn't going to either. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:19, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO. Joseph2302 (talk) 06:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete; I could not find sources that indicate notability. Absolutely a neologism. Enterprisey (talk!) 07:10, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
