Lacks sources, poorly written, and it's not clear that it's even correct (e.g., it states that it's applied for industrial automation. But through a Google search, it seems to me that many of the results use this in the context of regular software development). Even if we eventually decide it's worth an article, it's probably easier to start from scratch 7804j (talk) 19:24, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2025 January 31. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 19:34, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This should be able to be rewritten easily enough. But I feel that in its current state it is unencyclopedic, and I'm confident someone will rewrite it. (3OpenEyes' communication receptacle) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 20:58, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is not how the term is commonly used. Agile automation in google searches and google scholar refers to software development and information technology in general, not just to industrial automation an process control. The only reference that is linked goes to a page with nothing specific about the topic. The external links in the article text don't mention agile automation on the linked pages.

Delete Looks like a single vendor proprietary term, hiding behnd a wrapping of Agile and automation, which are separate and notable terms. But not the topic here.

It would need multiple independent sources referring specifically to {Agile automation} to change this. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:02, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I agree with the nominator. Blow it up and start over. Cleaning this up would amount to blanking the page. HyperAccelerated (talk) 00:31, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
