~~Keep~~ One would hope that WP:BEFORE covered fixing trivial syntactic errors that were hiding the two adequate academic refs already on this article.

There may be quality-based reasons for deleting this poor, unreadable article. There are probably reasons to merge it with our existing article on genetic algorithms in mechanical engineering (If we don't yet have one, we should have done long ago). There is no reason for claiming the topic to be non-notable, or the article unreferenced. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:59, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article doesn't add anything much to Genetic algorithm which is a solid, thorough piece of coverage. Author could add a short section on use of GA in mech. eng. to that articleChiswick Chap (talk) 16:03, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A merge to List of genetic algorithm applications would seem more appropriate than Genetic algorithm, but yes, that seems like a reasonable short-term response. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment Looking at the page history, this looks like yet another connected with WP:India Education Program/Courses/Fall 2011/Machine Drawing and Computer Graphics. Given how much writing I've already done for articles on their list, I feel I should be asking Pune for an honorary degree! Andy Dingley (talk) 16:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
