"Cowboy-" anything can mean "reckless and irresponsible." The meaning is no different when applied to code. It is not a Software Development Philosophy any more than doing anything badly is a philosophy. The only other "source" for this term is a circular reference back to this Wikipedia page. This article is entirely original (or a joke) and should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlenPeterson (talk • contribs) 00:15, 24 July 2015‎

  • Keep The term is commonly used and there are sources. The article never calls it a software development philosophy. More could be added, but AfD isn't the route to go to get those. I'm not sure why nominator stated that in nomination rational. I checked StickyMinds.com and there are many sources there, unfortunately most are restricted to members (I am one and membership is free). A simple Google search shows sever RSes in the first ten returned. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:52, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
