• Comment The problem is the lack of references - which certainly are available for some cases. And then there's the "pop culture" trash that pops up everywhere. Merge a handful of legitimate cases - with references, and delete the rest. MarkBul 04:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, naught but unreferenced speculation and the typical pop cult trivia. --68.163.65.119 05:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but Trim until only verifiable cases are covered. And please remove the Ask Yahoo! link. It is not exactly scholarly. BTW kill the pop culture section before it grows!--Lenticel ^(talk) 06:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Change my vote to Merge the verifiable cases to Stockholm Syndrome since the article is not that big.--Lenticel ^(talk) 07:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge referenced examples to Stockholm Syndrome; Delete the rest. Clarityfiend 07:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge RS supported examples of real-life events to Stockholm Syndrome (if the sources allow the instance to be used to study the phenomenon, then they belong in encyclopdeic coverage of the syndrome). Get the fictional cases out, and drop the unreferenced real life examples. Pete.Hurd 07:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per Pete Hurd (cull the fiction)--Victor falk 16:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Medicine-related deletions. —Espresso Addict 00:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Trim brutally, then merge only verifiable cases into Stockholm Syndrome and redirect. Stifle (talk) 20:27, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge - The Famous possible cases section contains several references, but most of the Fictional uses should be deleted. NCurse _work 12:26, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge - merge anything that is real that has reference sources. The fictional section is five times as long as the real. Does not seem to be frequently in reality but makes a great fictional story line. --Mattisse 01:46, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
