 * Comment This is not a corp, so WP:CORP is the wrong standard to judge by.  I think the specific standard should be WP:ORG, even though that is only proposed.  There are a lot of career specific networking and continuing education associations.  Finance has a bunch of them because CPAs and some other finance professionals are required to meet ongoing continuing education requirements.  This association is international (U.S. and Canada at least), but I haven't found independent reliable sources to make much of an article yet.  Organizations like this frequently do and publish surveys on compensation for their field and other topics specific to the field.  This one does that, and also publishes a journal, but I'm not sure if they merit keeping as an author - the journal is free to members and we have no data on non-member subscriptions.  (Disclosure, I work in Finance, but have no relationship with this specific organziation.)GRBerry 02:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Article as it stands comes across as an advertisement, and doesn't verify it's contents per WP:VERIFY. —TheJC (Talk • Contribs • Count) 00:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
