Fails WP:ORG. Look, I think it's great that "he company’s experts have been consulted for articles in The Financial Times ... and trade journals", but this isn't the same as coverage of the company, which is lacking. Ironholds (talk) 04:17, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ironholds, thanks for your comments. I think my phrasing was not clear originally, so I will recast the sentences. More importantly, I also have some new references to support the first couple of sections, which are generally about the company, which I will incorporate this week: •	Here’s a good one covering the pharmaceutical side of the business - http://www.hospitalhealthcare.com/default.asp?title=IMC%E2%80%99s_drug-monitoring_systems&page=article.display&article.id=29242 •	Here’s a recent one about shock and vibration monitoring, which includes the following sentence - says Ian Robinson, group MD at The IMC Group, which has developed devices for shock and vibration monitoring that connect wirelessly across a site to deliver data to control or operations centres) - http://www.wireless-mag.com/Features/22462/Oil_companies_turn_to_wireless.aspx •	This piece confirms that Hanwell sponsored the Museum Utopias conference - http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/museumstudies/museum-utopias •	The following four links might also be good validation for Hanwell - http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/floorplan/1289 or http://source.theengineer.co.uk/measurement-quality-control-and-test/process-and-environmental-testing/temperature-sensors/hanwell-provides-wireless-temperature-monitoring/321611.article or http://www.museumsassociation.org/suppliers/find-a-supplier/24108?FILTER=ix_mode%20(rel%3D1%20imp%3D1)%20(with%20organisation_main_body%20from%20h%20to%20hzzz%20and%20(%22Y%22%20in%20ma_auth_org_is_supplier))%20sort%20%40icase%20%40collate%201%20(organisation_main_body)%20(organisation_main_body)&SORT=%40ascending%20%40icase%20organisation_main_body&RECNUM=7&P=0&N=20&referrer=NODE25366 or http://www.azonano.com/suppliers.aspx?SupplierID=854 Thanks for your time, and for bringing this to my attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Todd Danson (talk • contribs) 15:41, 25 September 2012 (UTC) — Todd Danson (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 Independent coverage of the company has been added. If this is sufficient, please remove the AfD notice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Todd Danson (talk • contribs) 15:28, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I can see that some further citations have been added to this article which now validate its content. Can the AfD notice now be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Njhenderson (talk • contribs) 10:49, 5 October 2012 (UTC) — Njhenderson (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete A search of Google News Archive finds little or no independent coverage about this company, but much coverage about other companies named IMC Group, including one based in Singapore and one based in India, in addition to the Wikipedia page IMC Group which redirects to International Metalworking Companies. I was going to suggest a redirect to Letchworth where they are based, but since there are so many other companies that share the name I think that would not be a good idea. --MelanieN (talk) 21:32, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

 Several independent sources are provided as citations for the article. I think it's also very clear which IMC Group is referred to. There may be scope to strengthen the article in places, but I don't think the issues raised warrant deletion at this point. Njhenderson (talk) 16:06, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
