Not preaching (as I often fall into this trap myself) but just copy&paste from others' examples, without understanding what is the intent of the code, can lead to problems.
In this case, the docs are useful (for understanding how to construct the `app_label`, for example): https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/models/options/ And also this link: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/db/models/#meta-options where it explicitly says: "... adding class Meta to a model is completely optional." so, if you find you need this, it may because something else has not been done correctly.
