Certified Valuation Analyst

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article seems highly promotional, almost to the point where I considered tagging it as a WP:CSD until I saw the age of the article. I was unable to find any independent coverage of the title "Certified Valuation Analyst", or the organizations that grant the title, in independent, reliable sources. The only sources in the article are from the organizations themselves. –Grondemar 17:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
