Yet another "nature-inspired" [[metaheuristic]]. This is a field of computer science where citation circles seem to be the norm rather than the exception, so the few references in the article do not convince me. Without a well-respected overview article or book mentioning this, this doesn't pass [[WP:GNG]]. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:40, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

:I love how every one of these "bio-inspired" algorithms claims to be a potential solution to the [[travelling salesman problem]]. Surprised they don't just claim they've solved [[P versus NP problem|P=NP]] by now. To others looking at the refs, note that the IEEE sources are not the IEEE journal itself, but spin-offs dedicated to incredibly specific disciplines tailor-made for this niche of computer science.

*'''Oppose''' for each of [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Intelligent Water Drops algorithm]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glowworm swarm optimization]], and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cuttlefish Optimization Algorithm]]. For each of these there are multiple publications in academic journals over a period of years. That seems to establish [[WP:GNG]]. If these are to be deleted I would want a counterargument to the default assumption that the articles cited are not reliable. Peer reviewed academic research which addresses a topic by name is usually considered to meet [[WP:RS]] and establish [[WP:GNG]]. Why demand a higher standard in this case?

*'''Merge''' to [[Swarm intelligence]]. It seems like there is a bit of secondary citation/usage of the algorithm, but that doesn't seem to indicate standalone notability because the publications are only mentioning the algorithm rather than giving in-depth secondary coverage. For a potential merge, someone would need to look over the sources to find what they consider a decent secondary source summarizing the method such as from the lede, [[tq|This algorithm contains a few essential elements of natural water drops and actions and reactions that occur between river's bed and the water drops that flow within.]] That itself may not be notable or need to be rewritten over at [[swarm intelligence]] too though. All the rest wouldn't be worth merging much less a standalone article per [[WP:NOTMANUAL]] and [[WP:NOTJOURNAL]].

*'''Keep''' The nomination talks of "few references" when the page when nominated actually had 22 separate references and most of them used the subject title. I have made an independent source search and had no difficulty finding a [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-9wlBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA48 respectable book source] from the many choices available.
