Dead end page, no GHits of "chartered valuer" or "Institute of Chartered Valuers" by name apart from Wikipedia mirrors, one company's website [1] and one Facebook page for the Institute with very little content. [2]. If there was more context, I would be happy to expand rather than delete, but I have no idea where to begin. RoninBK _{T C} 08:18, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move: many hits on Goggle for "Institute of Chartered Valuers". Suggest moving topic to that name. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:46, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Of those GHits you see, do you see any of them that support the idea that this "institute" actually exists? Aside from the Facebook one that I already linked, which appears to have been created from the information on Wikipedia? -- RoninBK _{T C} 23:37, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This would also appear to be redundant to appraiser, which seems to me to be the usual term for a professional who assigns a money value to property. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:56, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article doesn't state which country this applies to. One possibility is Canada, where the correct name is Chartered Business Valuator (CBV, a.k.a. Expert en Evaluation d'Entreprises) and the designation is awarded by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators. New Zealand had an Institute of Valuers (not Chartered Valuers) and in that country people are known as Registered Valuers. India has an Institution of Valuers, but no recognized designation therefrom (ISBN 9780792375531 pp. 378).
As can be seen, without the context of which country this even applies to, this article is useless, uninformative, and downright wrong. Uncle G (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
