It doesn't feel good to nominate an article like this, but good writing doesn't exempt from AfD any more than bad writing requires it. This appears to violate WP:SYN and WP:NOTESSAY. It was created by a WP:SPA (though a benevolent one; see this) who seems to have attempted to delete it a few months ago. BDD (talk) 04:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into problem solving per WP:ATD. You could drop the whole thing into that article and it would work fine there. WP:SYN and WP:NOTESSAY don't seem to be relevant. Warden (talk) 07:18, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per Colonel Warden. I was seriously concerned about the copyright status of this article. I google-tested a few snippets and didn't get any matches. The article history and author strongly imply it was written via Wikipedia and for Wikipedia--as part of a school project, but not as an essay or thesis or whatever to be handed in and graded. -- stillnotelf is invisible 19:14, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per Col Warden and Stillnote, which seems sensible. Bearian (talk) 18:42, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
