This page has remained unreferenced and a stub since 2007. It is a real topic; however it so little referred to in the scientific literature that it is hardly worthy of its own page. A small section could easily be added too [[Genetic algorithm]], [[Evolutionary algorithm]], or [[Inheritance (genetic algorithm)]]. Furthermore, the page hardly discusses speciation in the context. It mostly just repeats information that is discussed on numerous speciation-related pages. [[User: Azcolvin429|''<fontspan colorstyle="color:Green;">Andrew. Z.

*'''Comment''' - to add to the list, there is also some similarity between this and [[Environmental niche modelling]], but I'm not sure. My feeling is to merge anything useful to [[evolutionary algorithm]] (although I don't really see anything useful to merge). I'm not sure about naming conventions for redirect, but I don't think a redirect would be kept here, nor would a hat note be necessary at [[speciation]].

*'''Merge''' to the "Methodology" section of [[Genetic algorithm]] and leave a redirect behind. [[User:XOR&#39;easter|XOR&#39;easter]] ([[User talk:XOR&#39;easter|talk]]) 16:46, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

*If merged anywhere, it should be to [[Genetic algorithm]]. I still think a full delete is perfectly fine, as someone in the future that has greater expertise may re-create the article with greater quality and breadth than this one. Just my thoughts.

But now that I am looking at it, [[Evolutionary algorithm]] seems like a better candidate to merge with. [[User: Azcolvin429|''<fontspan colorstyle="color:Green;">Andrew. Z.

*'''Selective merge''' to [[genetic algorithm]]. In the field of genetic algorithms, there are core concepts in the field, such as inheritance, crossover and mutation, and there are tricks of the trade to make the calculation work a little better, such as speciation, adaptive GA, and kicking the system with bouts of high mutation rate. Speciation is a real technique and all three refs are applicable, but in terms of due weight, it really only merits perhaps a single well-cited sentence in the [[genetic algorithm]] article. --[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]] ([[User talk:Mark viking|talk]]) 05:17, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
