Moore's Beta Male[edit]

Seems like a well written article, but after further research, I believe that it is simply a promotion for the author's website. The only sources in the article are to the author's site, and it is based heavily on his work. Pax85 (talk) 05:39, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to A Dirty Job. Moore is a notable (and sometimes very funny) author with a significant cult following, and it's possible that a little bit of this content could be constructively incorporated into the article about the book. There are mentions of the "beta male" concept in articles about the book.[1] But the concept does not seem to have notability separate from the book, at least not yet.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
