The concept of paradigm classification is not clear and not widely used in the sense of a two-dimensional classification structure. This article really has only one reference, and that is a blog by William Denton called Miskatonic University Press. According to that text, paradigm classification is not a subset of faceted classification. That is not accurate, according to Denton´s blog. The term can also be used in the sense of classification of paradigms, which is how it used in the Ahlberg paper. So, paradigm classification is not widely used and it is used in different senses. In any case, the concept does not warrant a Wikipedia article. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 14:45, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - "paradigm" is an infamously polysemic word, and Google Scholar turns up several different incompatible uses of this term on the first page of results. Trying to chase down all the different potential use cases for a disambiguation seems futile. Psychastes (talk) 16:43, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
