[edit] Sigmund Freud Cocaine

I'm almost certain that there is no person or brand of cocaine named Sigmund Freud Cocaine—although it would be pretty funny if there were—so Wikipedia should not have an article with this name. If any of this is true and not already in Sigmund Freud then it can be merged. Unfortunately, such merging probably won't include my favorite line from this article, "Sigmund Freud was already a pretty weird person." —Triskaideka 15:52, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• This looks like a fast-track delete. Straight to BJAODN? -- The Anome 16:09, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• BDJAON and speedy delete: It's just some kid's ramblings from his book report on Freud. (Yes, I did have students write like this. "The Boy Scout Manual could have helped many on the gloomy isle of Britain," one student wrote.) Geogre 16:29, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. This might be true. Searching google for "Sigmund Freud" +cocaine returns 5,000 hits, the first being [1]. The title is, however, not proper, as User:Triskaideka noted, and the style is unencyclopedic. Merge with Sigmund Freud, after a fact-check, might also be appropriate.

Oh, it's quite true that Freud used cocaine for his patients. It's one of the big scandals that invalidates his results. When discussing "hysteria," he'd shoot his female patients full of cocaine until they began to wig out. He'd then demonstrate to his colleagues that they were hysterical. As for Freud himself using recreational cocaine, it's hard to say. He may have. Addicted? Well, since it's not a physically addictive drug, that's hard to say. Was he one weird dude? Dunno.

• Delete, but why merge this brilliant prose and unparalleled scholarship? Even if it's true, there's nothing redeeming here. CHL 01:38, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• BDJAON and delete: This is one of the funnier entries on VFD. It needs to be saved for future generations. -- [[User:Bobdoe|BobDoe]] 19:38, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The title is fatally flawed, and the article doesn't have much either. Fire Star 20:41, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

If this article is deleted, we should also delete the mirror of its contents currently being writen by the same author at Sigmund Freud and Cocaine (oh, and by the way, Delete)Iain 15:25, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Agreed. There's no reason at all to have a separate article for Freud's adventures with cocaine when we could just as easily discuss them at Sigmund Freud in greater length than we already do, if necessary. —Triskaideka 15:53, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. Article does not contain enough good material to be reworked. Any treatment of Sigmund Freud's use of Cocaine should be within one or the other of these articles. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:26, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
