The result was '''keep'''. Of note is that a policy- or -guideline-based rationale for deletion was not provided by the nominator, and no other users have opined for deletion. For examples of valid deletion rationales, see [[WP:DEL-REASON]]. The nominator also stated in a later comment, "This would be a good candidate for a merge or redirect". <span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[User:Northamerica1000|North America]]^{[[User talk:Northamerica1000|<fontspan sizestyle="font-2size:x-small;">1000</fontspan>]]}</span> 07:26, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

===[[Imperialist competitive algorithm]]===

Line 20:

Before making a decision, we should first bring a scientific definition and criteria for calling the work thousands of researchers, "metaphor-inspired metaheuristic cruft". Let's first ask this question: What makes an algorithm to be called "metaphor-inspired metaheuristic cruft"? What is the criteria?

'''Some suggestions:'''

'''

# Is that the age of and algorithm? So Genetic Algorithm can be called novel because it was proposed in 1950s and another algorithm proposed in 2,000 is not? If yes, then what is the specific year at which we should cut and label all the newer algorithms "metaphor-inspired metaheuristic cruft"? In this case, how should we label "Particle Swarm Optimization" and "Ant Colony"?

Hope this helps with the decision.

*'''Keep'''. I can't spot "metaphor-inspired metaheuristic cruft" among our [[WP:DEL#REASON|reasons for deletion]], so I'll assume it's the subject's [[WP:notability|notability]] that's in question. The above Google Scholar search, besides showing 995 citations of the original paper, reveals two book chapters with this title which constitute significant coverage in what appear to be independent reliable sources sufficient to meet [[WP:GNG]]:[http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-03404-1_15] [http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-05549-7_11]. (If there's some close connection between the authors of these chapters and the authors of the original paper that means they're not independent sources, it's not obvious to me.)

* '''Comment''' There is also an entry for this algorithm at {{slink|List of metaphor-inspired metaheuristics|Imperialist competitive}}. This would be a good candidate for a merge or redirect. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:24, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
