A confusing topic filled with an overdose of original research. If anyone can fix these problems the article could be worth keeping. ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 03:25, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Appears to be promotional content for the two sources given in the article, which are both websites of automatic gate vendors. I'm also not convinced that "gate operator" is a widely accepted term for automatic gate mechanisms, nor a good title for an article about automatic gates. Note we also have Electric gates but that is basically unreferenced. --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:22, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
- Weak Delete as per above and WP:TNT. Garage door opener exists, and a similar-quality page on this topic probably could exist, but it would need new content and a new title. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:01, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Both Electric gates and Garage door opener already covered this which is wholly sourced to sites of commercial providers rather than academic text or media sources as rightly observed above. –Ammarpad (talk) 14:42, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
