Stockholm syndrome in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Inappropriate list of trivia (WP:FIVE: "Wikipedia is not a trivia collection"), simply mentioning times the syndrome has appeared, with no reliable independent sources. Eyrian 20:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as not only a directory of loosely associated topics but a mass of unacceptable original research. This laundry list of instances of someone's supposedly succumbing to Stockholm syndrome tells us nothing about the syndrome and nothing about the fiction from which the examples are drawn. There are no sources indicating that these examples are all Stockholm syndrome and indeed a number of them were created before the incident in Stockholm even happened.

• Delete orgy of OR. Bigdaddy1981 23:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete -- Original research and loosely associated topics. Saikokira 02:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. The researcher in me loves these kind of lists, but that doesn't make them appropriate for Wikipedia. OR is OR. :) --Moonriddengirl 16:13, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and great applause for Eyrian for finding all these atrocious articles. Bulldog123 19:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete When you get down to it, nearly every film depiction of a hostage situation is going to evolve into a story about the relationship between the captors and the captives. That's not the influence of the Stockholm incident, it's basic storytelling. Mandsford 23:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete there are no WP:RSes that say that the Stockholm syndrome's place in popular culture is notable. Carlossuarez46 18:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I have made a request at WP:RFC that the larger issue of pop-culture articles be addressed. I would "vote" to merge back into the main article. Bearian 21:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
