Responding to your email
Thanks for contacting me, I'll reply here as I prefer to have open communications for Wikipedia!

Firstly, may I apologise for the delay in responding to your email (which was sent on the 8th of August) - I've started a new job, and I've been busy with that - it has 12 hour shifts, plus travelling!

OK, you asked why the Information Systems Security Architecture Professional page was deleted, and that I cited advertisements and you wondered what portions of the article contained advertisements?

The answer is that I did not deleted it as advertisements, but as promotional in nature/tone. Phrases like "the (ISC)2 ISSAP Concentration demonstrates acquired rigorous knowledge of select Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) domains in Security Architecture", and as a whole the article looked more like a brochure for the ISSAP than an encyclopedic article. As such, I agreed with the tagger who nominated the article for speedy deletion that it was promotional in nature, and so I deleted it.

As you also noted in your email, I deleted the Information Systems Security Engineering Professional for the same reason and another admin deleted the Information Systems Security Management Professional article for the same reason.

A further point to make is that no reliable sources which are independent of the subjects were provided for the article, and I could find nothing that would indicate that any of these have significant coverage in such sources to show that any of these meet the notability criteria for inclusion.
