Narcissistic supply

The narcissistic manager will have two main sources of narcissistic supply: inanimate - status symbols like cars, gadgets or office views; and animate - flattery and attention from colleagues and subordinates.[1]

This doesn't seem to have much to do with status symbol, the topic of this article. Since it's already on the other articles, I suggest we just delete it. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:4060:393:581D:3D36 (talk) 08:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

It is only a small amount of text. It does specifically relate to status symbols. If there was a lot of text that was only tangentially relevant the comment may have been valid. The fact that it may intersect 2 or 3 Wiki articles is incidental. Any individual Wiki reader is probably only likely to encounter one of them.--Penbat (talk) 19:56, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
