Non-notable organization with little or no third-party coverage, article seems to be an advertisement and all of the author's other contribs are links to this article BigPimpinBrah (talk) 23:15, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A shaky keep; definite clean up After a quick search I found a few compelling articles. It seems that being "IICRC certified" is a well known certification. Take a look here, it mentions "Amant’s technicians are IICRC certified".This as well states "Qualified technicians are certified from The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)." Here's where I found it, take a look for yourself. What are your thoughts on that? I think, seeing what I found, this article should be kept and certainly cleaned up/made more encyclopedic . Hmm, WP:CORP says "Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability", so perhaps not, but the context of it makes it sound to me as though it's reputable in the world of cleaning. What do you think with what I've given? I'm actually quite stumped on this one, I want to see what some other peoples' input (which of course is why we're here) ChaseAm (talk) 23:37, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some feedback This is all great feedback about the page...I would like to point out a few organizations that support and endorse the IICRC such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)http://webstore.ansi.org/FindStandards.aspx, the Society of Cleaning and Restoration Professionals http://scrt.org/news/36-changes-to-the-iicrc-continuing-education-requirements and the International Sanitary Supply Association http://www.issa.com/?m=articles&event=view&id=1619&lg= . The IICRC is also mentioned in several other wikipedia pages including the page on Carpet cleaning, Hot water extraction and Mold growth, assessment, and remediation. Registrants of the IICRC were also recently featured on the Lifetime TV network and in Real Simple Magazine. Additional feedback would be great.
