This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.

hang on This is a non-profit educational organization that has had an historically significant impact on training in professional psychology, much as the American Psychological Association has. It has existed for more than 30 years, and has been influential in enhancing clinical training, as well as making doctoral training accessible to a broader student population by advocating for diversity and more flexible educational paradigms. For instance, it has advocated for part time clinical psychology doctoral programs and internships so that students who have to support themselves and/or have families (and cannot attend school full time) can still work towards a doctorate. As you can see from the reference list (which is just a start - there are many other publications as well), NCSPP has contributed to the literature and public policy regarding the training in and practice of psychology. For these reasons, I thought it deserved a page.
Wuhwusdat also deleted a page that mere defined professional psychology, a term I am often asked to define (I'm a professor). I thought that would be a useful term to define and it doesn't sell anything. If you want to delete the reference to NCSPP in the definition, ok, but the term still needs a definition.

The National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology (NCSPP) was founded in 1976 to enhance the quality of graduate training in professional psychology. NCSPP is an organization composed of delegates from member programs and schools of professional psychology.
During NCSPP's summer and mid-winter meetings, delegates meet for several days to discuss national and international developments in the training and practice of professional psychologists, to develop standards for the education and training of professional psychologists, and to develop articles and position statements regarding public policy impacting the education and training of professional psychologists. Books, articles, and papers have been produced by Delegates as a result of these meetings. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] These meetings also provide a forum for the exchange of information about the functioning of schools and programs of professional psychology. NCSPP also networks with other organizations with similar interests and goals[6] It offers consultation on the development and maintenance of schools and programs of professional psychology.
NCSPP also initiates and supports the development of theory, research, evaluation, quality assurance methods, and programs in a variety of areas of professional psychology, and shares this information with the public and professional community. NCSPP is committed to finding solutions to significant problems of human welfare.
NCSPP has a web site, http://www.ncspp.com , and sponsors listservs for NCSPP Delegates and faculty at NCSPP member programs.
