Looks like something that was obviously made up by somebody (i.e. WP:OR); contributed by an SPA whose editing pattern indicates they're closely related to this subject, likely the inventor of the idea (this is obvious from one of the self-published pages used as a source, [1]). I can't verify the rest since the sources are (unhelpfully) all in Polish; but this same topic was deleted also on Polish wiki ([2]); with the same concerns that I have, namely that this is WP:OR and that no mention of this can be found in reliable secondary sources, failing WP:GNG as well.

  • Delete This does appear to be OR. There is information about Single transferable vote, but we already have a page. If this is a legitimate system we will need to see more RS to support an article. I do not think a draftify will help - but perhaps the author can continue to edit until we have more RSs. I feel bad because this was obviously quite a bit of work, but we just cannot be the first to publish this. Lightburst (talk) 20:59, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • In 2017 we had this concept added to Canadian political articles based on this.....was removed swiftly.--Moxy- 21:42, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As far as I can tell, all the sources are personal documents. Couldn't even call them self-published. SpinningSpark 23:18, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
