[[WP:NEO|Nelogism]] coined by [[Joel Spolsky]], mentioned by him a few times but otherwise not apparently picked up in any [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. I redirected to the author's article as an easy compromise for lack of independent notability, but this was reverted. [[User:Ritchie333|<

*'''Merge''' to [[Joel Spolsky]]. This algorithm isn't independently notable (it's mentioned in blogs, forums, etc, but there's a lack of coverage in reliable sources). But it seems odd that the article on Spolsky mentions the algorithm without explaining what it is, so at least a selective merge would be useful. --[[User:Colapeninsula|Colapeninsula]] ([[User talk:Colapeninsula|talk]]) 16:05, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
*'''Merge''' to [[Joel Spolsky]]. The story is mentioned in a [http://www.salon.com/2004/12/09/spolsky/ Salon article], but not in enough depth to count as an RS for the purposes of notability. The meme is clearly in use among software folks on wikis and blogs, but I was unable to find other independent reliable sources. Nonetheless, the idea is verifiable and [[WP:PRESERVE]] suggests that merging such material is preferable to deleting it. This is already mentioned in the [[Joel Spolsky]] article, so it is a natural target. It is a plausible search term, so a redirect is warranted, too. --[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]] ([[User talk:Mark viking|talk]]) 21:20, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
