Missing notability according to the notability criteria, this article obviously serves self promotional purpose. This organisation has done nothing notable and I cant see any of the criterias for notability fullfilled. Since it offers commercial oriented consulting and advertising services to small number newspapers (for this actions there is also no independent source given) and is a snall self publisher ( publishing only its own books) it is to be seen as a commercial organisation. No widespread medial coverage about it ( in the last 20 years around 20 journalistic articles where it gets mentioned but only menioned). There is no office, it is a mailbox organisation without an office and only run by the founder Björn Akstinat himself and according to his saying supported by 10 volunters somewhere in germany (for which there is also no independent source), from his own or parents home (this is where the address given by the IMH leads to), where from he runs also his second organsiation for german music. Also for the so-called members of the IMH workgroup there is no independent and reliable source given. The data this IMH gives as results of their research is the result of Björn Akstinat himself using Google how he himself admits in an interviev published at the 25/06/2014 in a blog. We had already the fun with the company spam of 60 sockpuppets around this organisation in the german wikipedia before the deletion of this article since of missing notability.

Is a private mailbox organisation which is run by one person from his own or his parents home with no independent medial coverage about its specific actions or work really notable for the Wikipedia. I doubt that. Seader (talk) 03:41, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
