The contents of Asynchronous method dispatch was merged into Asynchrony (computer programming) on 28 December 2017. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Proposed merge

Asynchronous method dispatch is too short to stand on its own; it should be merged here. bd2412 T 13:29, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if we should actually keep that page. "Asynchronous method dispatch" doesn't occur as a phrase in GBooks. It seems to originate in a paper by M. Henning and has been picked up in a few other computer science works, but is mostly treated as a compositional phrase (method dispatch that is asynchronous).

Asynchronous method invocation is also very close in scope to both articles... QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asynchronous method invocation seems to be fairly substantial on its own. If Asynchronous method dispatch is confined to a small number of computer science papers, that is all the more reason to merge it here and basically squish it into a footnote. bd2412 T 14:21, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and
