Remove Bubble sort, possible swap with merge sort or Timsort

Bubble sort is a toy sorting algorithm that is exclusively used to motivate sorting algorithms in computer science courses. It is never used for anything in the real world. I think we should definitely remove it but since we are still slightly under quota in this section, we can also swap in merge sort which is another sorting-optimal O(nlogn) algorithm that is frequently used in external sorting on big data systems or timsort which is a variant of merge sort that is optimized to perform better on real-world data and is the default sorting algorithm used by Python and Java.

  • I won't oppose cutting bubble-sort (it's not used often), but I do think it's still useful as a theoretical concept. Both educationally and as a sort-of base-case algorithm that suggests other ones as optimizations.
Would definitely support adding back merge-sort though and also bucket-sort. We're over quota, but I know some other sections can be trimmed aggressively (I know because I did the bikeshedding). Maybe not right now, but I also feel like the entire Math quota eventually belongs more around 1500 slots. Zar2gar1 (talk) 17:31, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not expecting to change your mind, but do you picture this as less vital than Lv5 in relation to something? We still have 30 slots in physics and can probably free up more like the big list of color spaces. which are arguably more computer standards anyways. I agree chatoyancy probably isn't a Lv4 article, but it's a distinct phenomenon. The fact we're still just adding magnification suggests to me that optical phenomena have been overlooked in general too; we're also missing iridescence, dichroism, and structural coloration. -- Zar2gar1 (talk) 21:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Zar2gar1 I'd support iridescence (41 interwikis vs 16 for chat...) before chatoyancy. And I'd expect we can find more vital physics concept to fill in the quota. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:15, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Swap: Remove Tencent QQ  5, add WeChat Pay

Tencent QQ as an instant messaging service has largely been superseded by WeChat  5 among offerings from Tencent  5. In contrast, WeChat Pay maintains a duopoly with Alipay  5 for retail payments in China; the two payment platforms are comparable in significance. Both Tencent QQ and WeChat Pay are subsidiaries of Tencent, so this is a straightforward swap.

Maybe we want to do this (after all, we already do have Speech synthesis  4 which is text-to-speech but this is a much more mature and widely used technology).

    @The Blue Rider: I don't see why not, I would argue it is just as important as Suicide prevention  5, especially since it has more of a presence in culture due to being the default way of stopping a suicide in fiction. Besides, Suicide  3 is VA3 and this is a notable enough subtopic to make the list. As you said, it is a fairly common practice. The comparison to Kamikaze also doesn't make much sense to me, since that was part of the Japanese military and not something happening to everyday people. QuicoleJR (talk) 20:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Kamikaze is a type of suicide thus the comparison. It's a common practice in psychiatric but it's relatively minor, in the sense that it just consists in a couple of questions on whether people have suicidal ideation, a time and date, access to lethal means and if that's so they probably will get admitted to the hospital, but that's the minority of people. Most of the work to mitigate suicide is done through prevention. The Blue Rider 16:34, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Transcriptome

The entire set of RNA transcript in an organism. We list several omics topics: Genomics  5, Genome  5, Proteomics  5, Proteome  5, Epigenomics  5, Epigenome  5, Metagenomics  5, and Pharmacogenomics  5. Transcriptomics redirects to Transcriptomics techniques, and the Transcriptome article covers the techniques, so it should be sufficient. These are the Google Scholar hits:

  • Genomics 5,530,000
  • Genome 4,530,000
  • Transcriptome 1,430,000
  • Transcriptomics 299,000

  • Epigenomics 118,000
  • Metagenome 103,000

Swap with Layover, which is what Anchorage Airport was known for – it’s primarily used as a refueling point for cargo (and during the Cold War, passenger) flights between North America (and to some extent Northern Europe) and Asia.

  1. The U.S. is overrepresented and there’s more to vitality of an airport than yearly emplanements. Vileplume 🍋‍🟩 (talk) 18:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @OhnoitsvileplumeXD: I agree with you on that point since we have five airports from the US, but no more than three for other countries. I think a straight removal would be more justified over a swap. I would be fine with removing Ted Stevens and removing a second US airport, though have no opinion on which one should be removed just yet. Interstellarity (talk) 19:46, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ANC is important as an international cargo hub and for its strategic location near the Arctic Circle. I think we should increase airport representation and cut one from the US. I’ll probably support its inclusion eventually, but I’m neutral for now. Vileplume 🍋‍🟩 (talk) 20:05, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Swap Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport for Memphis International Airport

Because Fedex world headquarters is in Memphis and this airport is the Fedex Superhub, it has been the world's busiest cargo airport many years, including 1993 to 2009 and 2020-??. World's second busiest cargo airport 2010-2019. Based on conversations, that I have had with a pilot (pure WP:OR) Memphis is the world's busiest airport for 2 hours a day because in the wee hours of the night Fedex uses the airport exclusively and has permission for tighter flight spacing than is normal.

Add Tamandua and Mara (mammal)

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Vital_articles/Level/5/Archive_12 this article was removed, it was replaced by Megalonyx though no rationale was given for the addition other than personal opinion. Considering we are under quota and this is a widespread and behaviourally unique group of anteaters which is also decently common in captivity I think it deserves a place at this level. Maras are a widespread rodent in southern Patagonia that are also extremely widespread in captivity, considering we list other less known rodents from the region such as viscacha it would make sense to include the mara as well.
