re PROD
editI removed the PROD, as a quick check shows a review at Salon.com, here, which means it may have at least marginal notability and deserves an AfD. I will presently add the ref to the article and see what else is out there, and send to AfD if appropriate. Herostratus (talk) 20:52, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
- When I proposed this for deletion, I assumed (incorrectly) that it was a popular science sexology book written by an academic, like TMWWBQ. But this one seems written by an amateur, so expecting academic reviews was perhaps too much. He has a list of reviews of all his books at http://www.timbergling.com/reviews.html, but there's not much beyond Salon for this one. I'm not sure how to characterize the book, although "anectodal sociology" is probably best given how the author describes himself on his web page. There is a little academic recognition this book, but it generally revolves around citations for the word "sissyphobia" (which should not redirect here because he did not coin it).

- He links this article in Edge/Gaywired.com as review of his book, but the article only says something about only at bottom "Acclaimed gay author, Tim Berling..." I guess this is his qualification for writing the book. Tijfo098 (talk) 21:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
