*'''Delete''' Seeing as the SSO was devised in 2009 and the other reference all predate that. One technical report does not a notable article make.--[[User:Salix alba|Salix]] ([[User talk:Salix alba|talk]]): 07:23, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' Like everyone else here I agree that this article doesn't stand up to [[WP:N]], hence the reason I did not go for keeping it. But I do not understand why it should be deleted instead of merged into it's parent article because imho it's clear that this isn't a hoax, as it's clear to most editors that vote to delete here too. I do think that it can be merged into a section of [[Particle_swarm_optimization]] --[[User:DeVerm|DeVerm]] ([[User talk:DeVerm|talk]]) 12:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC).
:Now the algorithm may well be an improvement to the PSO or it may not. I'm not qualified to judge. Indeed we only have the authors word that it is better as the technical report has not been peer reviewed which would offers at least a basic check. Further as there are no citations no one else in the academic community has looked at the algorithm. So we are suggesting adding an untested algorithm to PSO article. Potentially this could have serious consequences as we essentially give our recommendation to the algorithm and if it were to turn out to have a serious bug some third party could be badly affected. --[[User:Salix alba|Salix]] ([[User talk:Salix alba|talk]]): 13:02, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
