• ... that Revolution in The Valley is a book which marks the birth of the Apple Macintosh and the growth of Apple Inc. in the 1970s?

• Comment: One of the most substantially researched book on the Macintosh

• After removal of the author section, which was "copied from his Wikipedia article," the article is too short now: only 1268 characters. Also, the article is classified as a stub: see D11. There is also some close paraphrasing in the first sentence of the Content section from this source. While I think the topic is very interesting it's also an orphan since it is "an article with no links from other pages in the main article namespace" (but this could be fixable since it has many links from the talk space). I'm hesitant to reject this outright but there are many problematic issues. - ʈucoxn\^talk 23:11, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

• Creator made two tiny subsequent edits which did not affect the problems noted above, and was blocked as a sockpuppet the very next day. As the article is problematic and abandoned, this nomination is being closed. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:21, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
