Concept seems restricted to the ideas of one academic, primary sourced to his papers, suggesting original research. Also has a very similar name "Metcalfe"/"Metcalm" to the user account which created this article. Search for "idea networking" brings up various uses of the term, but none of which seem to be the same as what is described here. Jdcooper (talk) 14:20, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I conducted a brief WP:BEFORE and could not be able to find significant coverage about the topic which fails to show general notability guidelines and significant coverage. Fade258 (talk) 15:15, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is just cluster analysis applied to qualitative data. More importantly, the sourcing seems limited to a single author (with a third thrown in on a distantly-related topic); suggesting OR and/or PROMO. Not much found outside those two sources.
