Challenged redirect without discussion (Ticket:2018052210013241). Not sure if the topic area has received enough coverage at the present time, however without doing research it seems to be mainly external links with no real context. Mdann52 (talk) 18:57, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The topic meets WP:GNG seeing news articles from Forbes, The Guardian, and Wired as well as government reports and technical papers. I thought the stub article also had little content and too many external links (EL) so I notified all past editors of APM on Talk:Atomically_precise_manufacturing and said I was planning a merge into Molecular assembler. There was a large overlap of the EL between the two. I tried to clean up the EL, fixing broken links, improving names, adding dates. I didn't get back to deleting redundant or seriously outdated links, but I did say "many should be removed". StrayBolt (talk) 20:07, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sufficient independent substantial writings exist on the topic to pass WP:GNG. It does appear to be a variant from nanotechnology. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:42, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep' - significant coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 21:38, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
