An article with personal opinions original research, with no sources (other then the to to IBM's website), it has "(written by Roy Cropper. updated by Jim Stewart)" written in the middle of the article, and "(If this is an urban myth then I apologise for it as I would hate to mislead anyone)" Meaning that the entire article could be made up...

Delete: I failed to find significant coverage in independent secondary reliable sorces. Even if my assessment is wrong, the quality of the article would require either stubifying or outright deletion anyway. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 01:45, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete: In response to the initial discussion ADF is a real thing, it's not made up. But I don't think it was a very significant tool and there is almost nothing I could find written about it outside of IBM tech manuals and web sites and a site called Technopedia. Except, I did find one article here: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07399019408963044#.U-FgoEi-l7M but I don't think that is sufficient to establish notability. Also, it's a very old and out dated technology so there won't be any interest in the future unless IMS databases make a come back which isn't very likely. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 23:01, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
