The following reference was removed: Strauss, Neill, The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists (2005), ISBN 0060554738

I have no interest in promoting the book. Most of the reviews of the book are highly critical. Check the other references, you'll see. DutchSeduction 07:34, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Where do they belong in case someone wants to check on the usage and validity of the term? DutchSeduction

They belong nowhere, as they do not refer to any article in existence. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 07:43, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay, the references were only intended to prevent people from eliminating the term "pickup artist" due to a personal bias -- It seems as if User:Fvw was guilty of that.DutchSeduction 07:50, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Already happened, some idiot removed the disambiguation page. Dessydes

true true, surprised to see that! oh well, better revert it. Seems people kept on removing pick up artist even after dutch seduction had shown it is indeed very notable. Which is even sillier when you realise the addition of pick up artist is the very next edit made to this page after it's creation! Mathmo 22:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Remove link to seduction

I removed the link "pickup artist" to seduction, but it was reverted by user:Mathmo. The use of "PUA" as an abbreviation for "pickup artist" is not notable. We don't have an article pickup artist anyway. --Apoc2400 13:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

PUA for Potentially Unwanted Application.

The shorthand PUA for "Potentially Unwanted Application" is often shown in anti-malware software detections, like "Alert: Not-a-Virus:PUA.detection_name.variant_code was found in file ABC.XYZ" 94.21.154.68 (talk) 13:42, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
