Merge

I have merged the article for InsideAR to this article because it is a longstanding stub and fails WP:N. If you disagree with the merge or believe you can create a better article, feel free to undo my merge.

PR content

Made a few changes to reduce the promotional tone in the article. I removed the "Press" section, as it was mostly based on press releases and didn’t add much independent perspective, and rewrote the "Products" section to avoid catalog-style descriptions and marketing language.

That said, the article still feels somewhat promotional overall, particularly the Awards section, which reads more like a list than a summary of notable recognition.  The article also relies quite a bit on primary sources. Xoonkowa (talk) 13:11, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Founders section expansion (COI-disclosed)

I have expanded the Founders section with sourced information on Peter Georg Meier and Thomas Alt, including their post-acquisition roles at Apple and Meier's subsequent founding of Knowlix. I have a connection to Knowlix and have disclosed this COI on my user talk page. Diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metaio&diff=prev&oldid=1352988545

Happy to discuss any concerns. JulianRauch (talk) 13:46, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Proposal: restore Founders information (BRD – seeking consensus)

Per WP:BRD, I am opening this discussion after my addition of founder information was reverted.

Background: I added a sentence to the article noting that Metaio was co-founded in 2003 by Günter Greiner, Peter Meier, and Thomas Alt at the Technical University of Munich. This was reverted. I have a conflict of interest (disclosed on my user talk page) in that one of the founders, Peter Georg Meier, is affiliated with a company I work with. I am therefore seeking consensus here rather than re-adding directly.

Proposed content (compact version):

Metaio was founded in 2003 by Günter Greiner, Peter Meier, and Thomas Alt, researchers at the Technical University of Munich.

Why this belongs in the article: Founder information is standard encyclopaedic content for company articles (WP:NOTPROMO does not prohibit attributing who created a company). The article currently gives no indication of who founded Metaio.

Source quality: Computerwoche is a long-running German IT trade publication, independently covering the company.

I am happy to adjust the wording, trim scope, or discuss concerns. JulianRauch (talk) 08:42, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
