Weak Delete This has some sources that aren't by David Andrews[1][2] but I'm still not convinced it's independently notable and it might be possible to cover this in some other article, in a less promotional way. One of those authors, Kevin Roebuck, seems frequently associated with Andrews so I'm not sure if he's independent. Could redirect to The IRG Solution if that's found notable.

Comment: here's independent coverage of the idea. I also checked GScholar, but that didn't turn up anything interesting. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 07:51, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete An essay, possibly OR. Most of the facts are not referenced. Not encyclopedic. LaMona (talk) 16:20, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The insights on offer aren't very new. I applaud people who trying to understand the world, but as Carlyle said, "I don't pretend to understand the universe. It's a great deal bigger than myself; people should be modester." In this case, Sociology and Communications have covered the ground without the need for the idiosyncrasies.
