Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inverted narcissist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inverted Narcissist is a term created by the original poster, Sam Vaknin. IN is not in the DSM-IV, although the Narcissistic Personality Disorder is. He has posted this article in other reference sites as well. I cannot verify this term from sources other than Sam Vaknin.

This page is also has spelling errors, poor linking, and is over 30K.

I disagree... I think VFD is more appropriate. So I put it here. - UtherSRG 07:11, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. This is a research article, not an encyclopaedic one, and it seems as if the only person who could effect the changes is the author. If he makes the effort by the end of the voting period, then I may change my vote. Noisy 10:51, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Didn't this go to VfD before, or was it just discussed as irremediable on CU? At any rate, it's a private theory. Geogre 14:45, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete as original research. Ianb 16:38, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • keep. This article should stay around for a while to permit comment by experts on personality disorders and the DSM-IV. Spelling and grammar mistakes can be corrected over time as can POV. Arevich 21:27, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: The article has been on Clean Up for over 3 mo. I seem to recall someone saying that it could not be found in the DSM-IV, that it was the author's own suggestion of something that ought to go in. (Can't remember if that was discussion on CU or in the Talk page for the art.). At any rate, it has been around for a while already. Geogre 23:20, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • The local university has a copy of DSM-IV-TR. If I remember, I'll see if I can verify whether it's in there or not. -- Cyrius| 21:46, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - Wikipedia is not the place to create new words or concepts. - Tεxτurε 21:50, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-verifiable original research. (And thanks to UtherSRG for restoring it because it was not a speedy.) Rossami 23:20, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Del. Attempt to disguise original research, and unverifiable. --Jerzy(t) 16:31, 2004 Jul 29 (UTC)
