Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Rise of the Meritocracy
Young’s book is described as "a far-reaching, much reprinted satire" in The Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/meritocracy-rules-ok-meritocracys-just-not-fair-1595088.html, and as a "1958 bestseller" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/20/meritocracy-inequality-theresa-may-donald-trump and a "classic" https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2001/feb/14/features11.g21, both in The Guardian. Note also that its current edition appears in a ''Classics in Organization and Management Series''.  It can be found being discussed in an article by Daniel Bell ( https://www.nationalaffairs.com/public_interest/detail/on-meritocracy-and-equality “National Affairs”, 1972), being discussed in a 2015 New Statesman article https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/02/meritocracy-myth-what-ever-happened-old-dream-classless-society, and serving as a discussion point for a (paywalled) 2006 article in The Economist: "Young's book was an opening shot in a successful war" https://www.economist.com/special-report/2006/10/05/meritocracy-and-its-discontents. Also in another Economist article this year https://www.economist.com/britain/2018/02/10/the-merits-of-revisiting-michael-young but the paywall limit prevented my access to that. Overall I would say  is met
