In-Place Count Sort

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Utter bunk; probably a hoax. The "sorting algorithm" presented here is just an obfuscated way of doing

for i from 0 to n:
 a[i] = i

No wonder there are no references. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 23:11, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—I found one unverifiable cite in google books and no hits in google scholar. Ghits are also sparse. Not enough WP:RS to establish notability. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 18:44, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This appears to be intended as an algorithm for in-place permutation, a problem with some history of actual research behind it (see [1]). But I don't think there's anything worth saving in the current article. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:50, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I suppose that it could be used as a simple example in In-place algorithm. I don't believe there are any research articles on it because it is of no practical or theoretical value. int i must equal the minimum integer in a sequence and the sequence must contain all of the integers between the minimum and maximum integers in a sequence with no repeats, otherwise the algorithm enters an infinite loop or an array out of bounds.
