Hi, I was wondering why you felt that AIBCM, SIBCM and MIBCM all deserved there own articles. You added the tag that you are aware of the inclusion guidelines, so out of courtesy I have not nominated them for speedy deletion. However, you have made no attempt whatsoever to show why they are notable or provide any reliable third party sources. It seems to me that there is no need for individual pages on these and that they could be summarised much more effectively here, where I note they are not mentioned at all. If you are not able to show notability according to WP:GNG then I would propose that these pages are deleted and their content merged. Fenix down (talk) 13:48, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Plus FIBCM. Even if you manage to persuade us that the Institute of Business Continuity Management is notable, you are going to have a much harder job with the membership grades. I suggest that you turn each one into a redirect to the institute article. 109.144.148.187 (talk) 14:33, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
