[edit] Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist
Hello Erica,
I submitted an article today for Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist. I was just notified that you deleted it because you thought it was advertising. Please allow me to explain more about CMPS. The mortgage industry has been highly unregulated with many originators practicing in an unscrupulous manner. To address these concerns and raise the level of professionalism in the mortgage industry, the CMPS Institute was formed in 2005. I added a paragraph just before you deleted it addressing who oficially recognizes the certification. First, the national CFP Board (Certified Financial Planner) approved the CMPS curriculum for 13 hours of continuing education for CFP practitioners. (Please see the Certified Financial Planner article in Wikipedia.) Also, many states require continuing education for mortgage professionals to maintain licensure. The CMPS curriculum has been approved in the following statse: CA (14 hours), FL (10 hours), IL (6 hours), MD (14 hours), PA (4 hours), TX (7 hours), UT (14 hours).
Our founder and chairmain, Gibran Nicholas, was just interviewed by PBS, and we thought it was important to have an entry on Wikipedia as people have questions about CMPS. We are the first and most widely recognized mortgage planning certification program in the United States.
Please repost our article.
Thank you,

- Hello Beth Maybee. Thank you for being polite and professional. Unfortunately I cannot restore the article at this time. It does not conform to several Wikipedia guidelines:
- It sounds like an advertisment. Wikipedia's speedy deletion guideline "G11" states, "Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group, service or person and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic [are candidates for speedy deletion]." I'm afraid your article would need to be fundamentally rewritten. I would be happy to e-mail its contents to you if you do not have a copy on your own computer.
- It does not assert notability. Basically it needs to answer the question, "Why does this matter?"
- Your username (CMPSadministration) indicates you are intimately involved in this topic, which constitutes a conflict of interest. While you are not forbidden from editing such articles, it is simply bad form to do so. If this topic is notable enough for Wikipedia, an unrelated party will write about it.
