Xtreme Agile Programming[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I hesitated on tagging this for a speedy G11 because it's not very obviously promotional, and I wasn't sure about A10. User:Trivialist redirected it to Extreme programming (along with Extreme Agile Programming), which I supported, but was reverted by the article creator, and I refuse to edit war.

Google reveals a WP article with Agile software development. It seems like a lot of the sources about extreme agile programming are actually about agile or extreme, not both, and searching for the entire phrase in quotes revealed three results, therefore failing WP:GNG. It just... doesn't explain why it's notable.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - "Agile programming" is a recognised idea and you can go and get formal qualifications and instruction that make you a certified "Agile programmer". The "extreme" version would seem to be the same ideas and concepts, applied more enthusiastically and without some of the separation (which isn't a core methodology of "regular" Agile programming anyway). Agile programming with more meetings? Who knows. Looks like a thing someone invented one day (recently), not a recognised thing that has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources.
