PROD removed. Original concern was "This is a bogus organisation. It purports to have high ideals but is using a stolen coat of arms arms. The arms they are using belong to Sir Alasdair Workman MacRobert, 2nd Baronet (1912–1938) - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacRobert_baronets . Although the baronetcy is extinct, this organisation has no authority to usurp the arms. The arms contain a Baronet's badge, something no organisation, in the whole of history was ever awarded." The usurped arms have been removed from the article, but the organization still fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 15:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - Hi, I am terribly sorry but I was not made aware that these arms were in use. As soon as I got the message I deleted the arms myself as a goodwill. I kindly ask you to keep the page and let me add more references within a month or so. Thank you
 * Delete - Organization article of unclear notability, lacking independent references. A search turned up no significant WP:RS coverage. Article was created by an SPA as possibly promotional. As a side note, article should never have been approved through curation given the lack of RS sources. Dialectric (talk) 16:25, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per Dialectric. Can only agree that the article should never have been approved - who did it and why? Kiltpin (talk) 16:45, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Denver20 approved the page. I questioned this user's history in June when he applied for and received Pending changes reviewer rights. His recent edits show some competence and language issues, and I may file an AN case if there are continued problems.Dialectric (talk) 16:51, 26 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - Clearly too soon. SwisterTwister   talk  04:45, 27 January 2016 (UTC)


 * CommentThe Initials bear a very close resemblance to The Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies - a truly armigerous body based in Canterbury that is highly respected. A knowledgeable organization would know better than to steal some-one else's coat of arms (and a Baronets at that).
