Prod removed by editor after 5-day time without specifically addressing the prod concern. Article is not an encyclopedic article but rather an essay with original research/synthesis. Subject is not particularly notable or distinct and could be moved into Stereotype. Page is the original author's only edits and no pages link there. Reywas92 Talk 21:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete without prejudice against re-creation. The one positive that I can give about this specific article is that I do not think that it is copyvio.  Or, more to the point, I would like to think that a textbook would have better coverage of the topic.  For starters, the stereotype in question is “What Is Beautiful Is Good,” not “What Is Good Is Beautiful.”  Furthermore the description is not very good.  For example, research on the stereotype started with Dion, Berscheid, & Walster (1972), not with Snyder, although Snyder, Tanke, & Berscheid (1977) is an important study in the area.
 * Despite the problems with the article, the stereotype is still very notable. The 1972 study has over 600 citations in Google Scholar, and the 1977 study has over 300.--FreeKresge (talk) 15:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
