The result was '''redirect to [[Genetic algorithm#Methodology]]'''. It's up to editors what, if anything, to merge from the history. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sandstein|<font style="color:white;background:blue;font-family:sans-serif;">'''&nbsp;Sandstein&nbsp;'''</font>]]</span></small> 09:13, 7 September 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|''<font 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)
