Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Interesting but non-notable research institute within a single university. Various projects and people there may be notable, but not the instate as a whole. In practice, our standards for such institutes is on the strict side.  DGG ( talk ) 01:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

KEEP. The assertions at top from DGG are incorrect. IHMC began 25 years ago at one university, but later was set up and funded by the Florida Legislature as an independent organization. IHMC receives federal and private grants, and is affiliated with most Florida universities. Please see Florida Statute 1004.447, which established it as an independent institute. The institute has more than 80 researchers, most of whom have Ph.Ds or M.Ds. Regarding earlier concerns about promotional-sounding content, most of that has been removed, and sources added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by William Rabb (talk • contribs) 15:57, 18 March 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment on sources Their robot is notable. Their director is notable. None of that shows the organization is notable. Local news stories are based on PR.  DGG ( talk ) 04:43, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
