Some of the remaining articles which don't bear your name appear in journals of dubious quality (''TELKOMNIKA'' is pay-to-publish, and Inderscience journals are discommended by Beall). —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 20:10, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

It describes STA in a more clear way.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/58.20.106.16|58.20.106.16]] ([[User talk:58.20.106.16|talk]]) 07:08, 16 July 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> <small>— [[Special:Contributions/58.20.106.16|58.20.106.16]] ([[User talk:58.20.106.16|talk]]) has made [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account|few or no other edits]] outside this topic. </small>

*To find the global optimal solution is an intractable problem nowadays, the STA method makes a contribution to this unsolved problem in global optimization.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:J.R.XIE|J.R.XIE]] ([[User talk:J.R.XIE|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/J.R.XIE|contribs]]) 11:40, 18 July 2016 (UTC)</span></small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> <small>— [[User:J.R.XIE|J.R.XIE]] ([[User talk:J.R.XIE|talk]]&#32;• [[Special:Contributions/J.R.XIE|contribs]]) has made [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account|few or no other edits]] outside this topic. </small>

*The same as the classic approaches like EA and PSO, STA is also an stochastic algorithm for solving global optimization problem. However, STA has a much clearer mathematic explanation for the included operators if compared with EA and PSO. In this article, the operators in STA seem to be designed for dealing with challenges in global optimization such as the cheating of a local optimal and the slow convolution speed. The result in the references indicate that the four operators yield a pleased performance.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/203.10.91.81|203.10.91.81]] ([[User talk:203.10.91.81|talk]]) 03:38, 19 July 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> <small>— [[Special:Contributions/203.10.91.81|203.10.91.81]] ([[User talk:203.10.91.81|talk]]) has made [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account|few or no other edits]] outside this topic. </small>

*** The article could be improved by the addition of multiple sources which are independent of the algorithm's authors, which are published in venues with a reputation for adequate peer review, and which discuss the algorithm in depth as opposed to citing it in passing. —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 14:18, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Obvious [[WP:SOCK |socking]] aside, this is pretty much identical to that string of circularly-cited "nature-inspired algorithms" articles. Every source is by the same authors with the order of the names changed, and the article is maintained by a user with a clear COI. There's no reason to believe this algorithm describes anything more than a random-walk iterative optimization, because it makes up its own language and isn't corroborated by any outside source.

*'''Delete''': lacks notability. Most references are 2016, i.e. not notable. The oldest references has mostly self-citations. Also COI problem + orphan: there is no "story line" in Wikipedia that would eventually direct someone here.
