Alright, enough is enough. Despite never having any sources, this article survived an AfD twelve years ago. There are no reliable sources providing this fuzzy certification the "substantial coverage" to the subject the GNG requires (indeed, there are only four G-news hits even namedropping it). Text reads like a copyvio off of a brochure, and remains unsourced to this day.

Of the three keep proponents in the prior AfD, two -- including the article creator, who claimed to hold the certification himself -- opined that "it exists" was a valid ground to keep, and the third set forth only "Keep but move and add refs" without any ground to keep. Even in 2008, this was a garbage close. Ravenswing 20:48, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• delete I'm sure it's real, but it seems that hardly anyone cares about it considering the minuscule number of legit GBook hits I get. Mangoe (talk) 22:56, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• delete Original page author here. I'm not sure how relevant HISP is anymore. It was widely discussed back in 2008 when the page was created, but even the HISP website shows stuff "coming in 2018" so doesn't seem to really be maintained. --mariusstrom 02:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:V - I was a "keeper" 12 years ago, but we have gotten a lot stricter since. Bearian (talk) 00:57, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
