==Context wrt: similar work==
This article would be improved if ABC could be explained explicitly in the body of the text, wrt: [[gradient descent]], [[swarm intelligence]], [[Bees algorithm]] and [[particle swarm optimisation]]. [[User:Leondz|Leondz]] ([[User talk:Leondz|talk]]) 11:26, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
== Deletion proposal ==
I didn't see a separate page to discuss the proposed deletion.
While I agree there are too many pages on the metaheuristic optimization stuff, Artificial Bee Colony seems to have even more support than Firefly. I recommend that Artificial Bee Colony be one of the pages to '''keep'''. It has 17,400 results on Google Scholar [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=10&q=%22artificial+bee+colony%22&hl=en&as_sdt=0,6] and a number of books searching for "artificial bee colony" intitle:optimization [https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=%22artificial+bee+colony%22+intitle:optimization&num=10#q=%22artificial+bee+colony%22+intitle:optimization&safe=active&tbm=bks&start=0] including:

:: {{ping|Michaelmalak}} This is a [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion]], so you may simply remove the tag if you disagree.
:: I do wish to make a case for why it probably shouldn't be kept: I think this particular algorithm has generated a few more citations than the [[firefly algorithm]] because it has been around for a few years longer. To me it appears that a certain group of researchers in this field has just become very good at gaming the [[h-index]] system (take an existing algorithm, tweak the metaphor, write a Wikipedia article, publish a bunch of "applications" in journals run by that same group, repeat), so I'd be very careful about equating the number of citations Google Scholar reports with notability.
:: I do not immediately see the difference between this algorithm and [[ant colony optimization]], which has been around for quite a bit longer. I do not, unfortunately, posses a reliable source that I could use to criticize this algorithm in the article on this point. (This is the whole problem with all these metaheuristics, the junk gets published at a faster rate than could be dubunked by the good scientists.) —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 13:45, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
== Criticism ==
I have removed the boilerplate criticism section that appeared in the lede of this article (and in many others), which appears in more or less the same form at [[List of metaphor-based metaheuristics]]. Since I have made similar removals or replacements on other pages, if anyone has an issue with this one, it's best to start an omnibus discussion at [[Talk:List of metaphor-based metaheuristics]]. —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 19:19, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
