Automation Master

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find any good third-party sources for this article. The term "Automation Master" in itself comes up with a lot of irrelevant search results, but adding "Max Hitchens" does no better. The article appears to be largely written as a self-promotion piece, and without good neutral sources to work from, that problem is not fixable. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:02, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Automation Master was developed pre-internet. Unless the articles have been scanned and put online you will find nothing using Google. I am attempting to find the articles, scan them and post them. I have recently gotten 3 from Larry Gould from 1983-1993.


 * My whole purpose of this effort to to contribute Automation Master, which represents 15 years of George Rote and my life, to the community. I am retired and will receive no benefit from it. There are dozens of articles, 10s of thousands of lines of code and 500+ pages of documentation to be contributed. I was hoping to attract some help but no luck so far. If you know of anyone who might help please direct them to me. Thanks.Maxhitchens (talk) 00:16, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep&mdash;Looking at the scanned articles, there's enough in the way of WP:RS for a respectable article. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 13:57, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - the two 'MANAGING AUTOMATION' references are significant coverage in a reliable source, and together with the other refs, notability is established.Dialectric (talk) 12:22, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
