[edit] Racial identity disorder

Racial identity disorder (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

I cannot locate any psychological/psychiatric source for this disorder; instead, all the Ghits I could locate point to this being a slang term, rather than an actual diagnosable disorder. I am nominating for deletion per WP:RS and WP:OR. nneonneo talk 19:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete: Agreed; a Google search for the exact string only brings up a few links, none of which appear to be from credible sources. Paradoxsociety (talk) 19:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I couldn't get a single hit on Google news, nor could I get a single hit on a university library keyword database. I think it's complete OR. Renee (talk) 20:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. JSTOR and EbscoHost turn up nothing (though Renee's search probably covered those); if someone has a DSM-IV handy we can wrap this up conclusively. AnturiaethwrTalk 20:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Even if it were real, it wouldn't be a disorder. Hence it's a joke. Potatoswatter (talk) 22:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete only 10 ghits including the Wiki article. Although, there may be a "disorder" out there which matches the parameters it obviously isn't notable under this name. Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. In case anyone had any lingering doubts: no, there's no mention of it in the DSM-IV (at least under this name, as Jasynnash2 rightly points out). AnturiaethwrTalk 18:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
