The only reference is apparently a WP:PRIMARY source, the NIST guy that wrote the entry (Paul E. Black). Not every joke in a computer science reference is notable. I'm not seeing secondary coverage here. FuFoFuEd (talk) 07:25, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• delete I just did a search for several of these ineffective sorts while working on the afD for bogosort. I was unable to find any notable usage of Luckysort in actual programming or educational materials outside of the NIST entry as well. I Jethrobot (talk) 08:02, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No decent source and not notable and not even interesting. Dmcq (talk) 08:41, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Lack of sources (I found 0 more). Clear case. Widefox (talk) 19:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I don't think the NIST entry is adequate by itself for notability, so unless other sources turn up (and I searched Google books and Google scholar without finding any) I think this should go. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:40, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Looks like an inside joke that's not really funny, and certainly not notable. Justin W Smith ^talk/_stalk 23:59, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
