Quality control and genetic algorithms

This content could as well be explained in either two separate articles or both. The subject itself lacks notability. Google scholar and Google books give no hits on the topic "quality control and genetic algorithms". Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 20:16, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge any useful material to genetic algorithms Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 20:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the applications section in genetic algorithms is very weak - a laundry list of (often) unsourced applications. Maybe better is for the article to be kept as the kern on a article on application of GA or the like. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 22:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. The article should be kept. Regarding the "notability" of the subject, a search for ("genetic algorithms" AND "quality control") of the Scopus scientific database gives 347 articles published in scientific journals. A search in Google gives 16500 pages, in Google Scholar gives 3900 aricles, and in Google Books gives 638 books.

Keep Plenty of relevant articles on scholar about the application of GAs to control systems and QA. That one of the editors has published in the field shouldn't be regarded as a problem in and of itself. Unomi (talk) 11:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Stub/Merge Doesn't meet notability guidelines. Searching for research citing the existing references failed to turn up other potential sources on the topic. --Ronz (talk) 16:00, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The last remark is inaccurate. The following is a scientific article on the GAs based QC citing the 1st reference of the "Quality control and genetic algorithms" Wikipedia article: He, David, and Arsen Grigoryan. 2006. Joint statistical design of double sampling and s charts. European Journal of Operational Research 168 (1):122-142.Aristides Hatjimihail (talk) 16:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then find a way to incorporate it into the article. I didn't find that one in my searching. --Ronz (talk) 16:29, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - both quality control and genetic algorithms are notable topics and have their own articles. This article offers little additional coverage on these topics and described only a particular application of GA to quality control as an optimization tool. There is a strong notability concern as mentioned above, since this is not considered a subfield of either optimization or control. The number of citations is irreverent - any notable algorithm such as GA are widely applied to hundreds of different fields and it doesn't make this one any more notable. --Jiuguang (talk) 19:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
