Declining mistaken WP:CSD tag, but there are no Google Book hits and no Google News hits. There are a lot of Google hits; I think the company probably isn't notable per WP:CORP, but I'm not sure. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 02:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete This was deleted before under G11 (spam) and though that is borderline here, this still doesn't pass WP:N. I only found 22 hits on google for "International Academy of Financial Management", which isn't "a lot" to me. Those hits only take you to linkfarms in pages of other nonnotable organizations.

 * Delete Non-notable group or corporation. Apparently (according to all the chatter regarding American Academy of Financial Management), some members of AAFM were dissatisfied and decided to form the IAFM, but the legitimacy of this move is disputed.  Yet this dispute is not covered in any news source that Google News indexes .  So, either the IAFM is a hoax (what the advocates of the AAFM article claim) or it is not notable enough for any reliable source to take an interest in the story.  Either way, fails WP:ORG.

 * Delete. No notability shown in this article about a minor, apparently schismatic trade association. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
