The result was delete. The one "keep" is not based on reliable sources and must be given less weight.  Sandstein  08:50, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Does not appear to be a notable algorithm: All I could are false positives, passing mentions, or tutorials. Not much about Rankselect itself. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:19, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. There are 16 hits for "rankselect" in Google scholar but I don't see a lot of evidence that any of them are using it in this sense. And the one (primary) source for the article has been cited 48 times in Google scholar, ok but not great for a paper from 1983, but most of the citations look like people discussing distributed selection, or describing different algorithms for distributed selection, rather than significant coverage of this particular algorithm. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:11, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. It seems to be well used in Haskell, so err on the side of keeping. :-) --Oskinet (talk) 02:58, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
