Non-notable system. A Google search gives 54 hits, several of them WP or its mirrors, none indicating any notability. A PubMed search renders not a single hit. The system seems to have been published originally in the Linux Journal, not a usual venue for developments in the life sciences. This article is part of a walled-garden created by User:Sgaran, see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven A. Garan. In the absence of any evidence that this meets WP:N, the article should be deleted. --Crusio (talk) 19:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP Google returns about 2,450 for "Automated Imaging Microscope System (AIMS)" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgaran (talk • contribs)

• KEEPAutomated Imaging Microscope System (AIMS) played an important role in shedding light on the effects of caloric restriction on cell populations in the hypothalamus. AIMS was the first fully automated system that could scan large areas of tissue, reconstruct these large sections digitally, count cells that expressed different receptors and create a three dimensional volumetric model of the densities of those populations. A list of the publications that resulted is shown below:

The editors of the journals listed above all agree that the discoveries that resulted in the work of the Automated Imaging Microscope System were important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgaran (talk • contribs)

• Comment Many of the above "publications" are in fact only meeting abstracts (often not peer reviewed). The others are articles that have not or only sporadically been cited, not showing any notability for this system. If I search for "Automated Imaging Microscope System (AIMS)" on Google, I get 25 hits, not 2450. --Crusio (talk) 11:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Dear wikipedia colleagues, I would like to update you on a issue that has become disturbing to me. A few days ago Wim Crusio and I had a disagreement over the word "Phenomics" which has been used in many scientific publications and online dictionaries. Wim Crusio has been changing the wiki entry to re-direct it to the word "Phenotype" and I have tried to keep the word as a stand alone term. After his repeated failed attempts to redirect the word to "Phenotype" he has decided to carry out a reprehensible vendetta against myself, my work and my co-researcher who passed away in 2008. As you can see by Wim Crusio's edit history on the following items, he started to delete and alter the following items, on April 29, 2010, which was directly after our disagreement over the word "Phenomics" :

Steven A. Garan,  
Aging Research Centre,  
Automated Imaging Microscope System,  
Paola S. Timiras                                             

I hope the contributors to wikipedia do not encourage this kind of childish behavior. If Wim Crusio has a disagreement regarding an issue with any of my wikipedia colleagues, I would hope to stand by them should a person like Wim Crusio carry out a similar campaign. What I find utterly reprehensible is Wim Crusio's sudden interest in my co-researcher of ten years Paola S. Timiras. She passed away in September of 2008 and starting on April 29, 2010, his actions in altering her page are clearly an act driven not my any scientific motivation, but instead by a malicious desire for revenge.

I believe that the appropriate place for discussions about the articles would be their respective talk pages, shall we continue there? Glad to see that you are willing to communicate. --Nuujinn (talk) 18:47, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article in Linux Journal seems adequate for our purposes. Colonel Warden (talk) 21:29, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into microscope image processing or Automated tissue image systems Even with the article in the Linux Journal, the specific installation at Berkeley described in this article doesn't seem to be notable. The developments in microscopy do seem significant, but belong in a more general article. The author should be encouraged to read WP:FAQ/Organizations. -- Radagast3 (talk) 00:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. There are only 9 hits in Google scholar and they seem to all be primary sources (by people affiliated with the project). That includes the Linux J. piece cited by Colonel Warden: it's by two project affiliates. The absence of third-party reliable sources prevents us from writing a neutral encyclopedia article about this subject, and is also a strong hint that this subject does not have enough of a broader significance to warrant including. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:32, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The sources claimed above are all primary, and are not independent. Google searching returns only 37 results. Abductive (reasoning) 19:35, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
