EC-Council Certified Secure Programmer

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a technical certification supported only by COI references and affiliate advertising websites. This is one of several non-notable certification articles linked from EC-Council, which seem to exist to promote a commercial interest without imparting any real encyclopedic value. Note the advertisement image in the article. I am unable to find any reliable sources with which to establish notability. - MrX 20:09, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Nor do I see sources for notability . The individual article isn't promotional, but in the context of EC-Council, the overall group might be so considered.  DGG ( talk ) 23:26, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete and ditto to Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator EC-Council Network Security Administrator EC-Council Certified Encryption Specialist as duly nominated. Even Certified Ethical Hacker is questionable; all are just promoting the group's courses. Might even qualify for a speedy due to the imperative used in the captions, telling the reader they should buy the company's products. At first I thought it might have something to do with the European Commission but of course it does not. There might be one or two sources that could be gathered from the other articles I suppose, so a merge into EC-Council would also be appropriate. It has been tagged for notability for over two years!
