Is it me, or this was created just to Diagnose Someone Over the Internet? (Which, for a number of reasons, is a bad idea.)--ZooGuard (talk) 14:39, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Going by who wrote it and the style in which that someone usually contributes, I would say this is not a case of targetting a specific individual (EDIT: On second thought, there is no indication that there was much more thought put into this than passing annoyance with a specific person.). Going by the title, I would say this has the potential to turn into an interesting article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fregoli_delusion
But in the end, there's little indication that this will make it past the stage of stub. I'm hoping the author will chime in here. Nullahnung (talk) 14:46, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
I don't think that writing about "interesting" mental disorders, especially by non-experts, is within the mission of this wiki. This is one of the situations where a link to Wikipedia would be better.--ZooGuard (talk) 14:59, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. Stubby drive-by personal attack. Also not missional. Delete. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 15:04, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
I say delete. I can't see a way to make this on mission without accusing someone of suffering from it, and the thought of criticizing someone for having a legitimate mental disorder leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. - GrantC (talk) 15:08, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
An article about a mental disorder written solely to attack some youtuber? No. Just no. It's borderline libel. SophieWilderModerator 18:30, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
