Doesn't meet WP:N. There was a previous suggestion of a merge/redirect to Opaque pointer. This is a possibility, though I wouldn't support a merge as most of this is unref. Boleyn (talk) 12:46, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. While "private class data" is a very common term in object-oriented programming, there are very few references to a design pattern and they all seem to post-date this article. I think this may have been original research on the creator's part back in 2004. StarryGrandma (talk) 20:37, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
