Interactive Multimodal Information Management (IM2)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A non-notable research center. The entire lead is pretty much a copyvio of http://www.im2.ch/, and much of the other text seems to be from an earlier revision of that site. The wikilinks were added as the result of a template I added.

In addition, there is a conflict of interest: User:Ffoglia created the article, and "The IM2 delegate for Advancement of Woman is Dr. François Foglia..." Raymie (t • c) 01:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * comment I think we should allow organizations to create their own wikipages, so long as they keep to WP:NPOV, and I felt that this page was neutral in tone. Francis Bond (talk) 03:35, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * keep around 300 hits on Google scholar (mainly acknowledgements) seems just about enough to make it notable. It is described as a notable site in

IMIM (OR IM2) http://www.im2.ch/ [research program]

The National Center of Competence in Research on Interactive Multimodal Information Management (IM2) is an international multipartner program that researches and develops prototypes in human-machine interaction, focusing on technologies to coordinate natural input modes (such as speech, image, pen, touch, gestures, head and/or body movements, and physiological sensors) with multimedia system outputs (such as speech, sounds, images, three-dimen- sional graphics and animation.) IM2 Web resources include research and education information.


 * this is not just a passing mention thus significant coverage', and is in a reputable journal, thus reliable. As a large government funded institution, it must also be referred to in multiple Swiss reports, but I can't access them here, perhaps User:Ffoglia can, and that would give us multiple sources.
