[edit]

This article was proposed for deletion after only a few hours live, for failing to meet the 'Notability: Book' requirement. I have deleted the objection notice because I do feel that this meets the notability criteria, for this reason:

"The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book."

"still considered the standard reference book"

[edit]

The last section claims that "The Handbook is still considered the standard reference book on how to avoid degrading women with words", but the source for this claim is from 1997. Does anyone have a newer source that makes a similar claim? Otherwise it should be removed. SBareSSomErMig (talk) 11:48, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
