Kieras first pub. date

The documents I've found are dated 1993, still there's also evidence of 2001 as the date. I've edited adding both. The 1993 version seems a 'manuscript' from the University of Michigan. Some evidences:

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/259709.html (1993)
http://courses.wccnet.edu/~jwithrow/docs/klm.pdf (1993), it's missing a page

Requested move

KLM (human-computer interaction) → ? — I disagree with the use of acronyms as the sole title of the article. — ThomasOwens (talk) 12:54, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Any additional comments:

I would support a move to either Keyboard-Level Model or Keystroke-Level Model, as long as the other term was a redirect to the actual article. ThomasOwens (talk) 12:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ghits for some move possibilities: "Keystroke-Level Model" 7,640 ghits, "Keyboard-Level Model" 202 ghits, "KLM-GOMS" 555 ghits, "Keystroke-Level Modeling" 512 ghits. It looks like Keystroke-Level Model is the best option, with redirects created where necessary. Baileypalblue (talk) 20:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- OTOH Keystroke Level Model has been searched more on Wikipedia than Keystroke-Level Model (or the current article title, for that matter) so maybe the phrase without the hyphen would be more useful. Baileypalblue (talk) 20:29, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've only seen it written with a hyphen, so the title should reflect that. ThomasOwens (talk) 21:29, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - There are some uses online, see here and here for examples, but looking again at the google search I agree the use with the hyphen appears to be more commonly used as the title; other uses may be unrelated hits or informal expressions of the idea. The hyphenless alternate might be useful as a redirect. Baileypalblue (talk) 21:48, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
