[edit] Mortido

I'm new around here, but seems to be either original research or nonsense. If it isn't, it REALLY needs editing. Delete. 141.211.138.85 03:38, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Comment, appears to be an obscure psychology term. About 1600 Google results, mostly for some band. Content appears to be copied from here - they are described as "public documents", but the site has a copyright notice. Can we have a psychologist's comment on how 'real' a term this is? --bainer 07:38, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. IANAPsychologist, but Googling on "mortido Freud" provides a fair amount of support for it as a legitimate term in Freudian psychology. It's the drive towards death, in opposition to libido. I'm not sure how it relates to destrudo. FreplySpang (talk) 22:24, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Appears to be a Freudian term but the article as it stands is a waste of space. Would vote to keep if turned into a reasonable stub. No vote as yet. Capitalistroadster 09:48, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable Freudian term. The fact that the stub is poorly written should not be a reason to vote delete. I did some basic wikifying and tagged it as stub. Please note IANAP either: if this survives VfD, it should get some attention from a specialist. For instance, my researches could not clarify whether this is a synonym of destrudo (in which case a merge & redirect would seemed more appropriate): apparently, it is still controversial within the psychoanalytic theory how to name and describe the basic drive that is the opposite of libido.
