Cited. A pretty new neologism, business speak, that doesn't seem to be diffusing too rapidly. The origin appears to be an unpublished paper which is nonetheless referenced by other papers and a couple of books. At least two include the word manumation but were not listed because they are not independent. Not sure if the Usenet quote fits the same definition. DAVilla 20:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

The usenet quote is from someone who meant manumition ... ;-) Removed. Robert Ullmann 15:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I really don't see this word going anywhere. I mean, who uses it? Both blog hits [1] [2] are for different meanings, one semi-automation, the other de-automation. But who am I to judge? DAVilla 18:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd say it should be lopped ;-) (as a more serious possibility than usual) Robert Ullmann 20:18, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

  In contrast, the "manumation" of processes through traditional MIS never facilitated such rapid change in strategy and structure.

Seems to pass CFI at this point. Maybe it's picked up steam in the four months since the last comment on this unclosed RfV. Cheers! bd2412 T 22:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Rfvpassed. Though personally I think it should go to Rfd, someone else can refer it if they want. Andrew massyn 15:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
