I don't think that a merge with Love is a particularly good idea. The Love article is all over the place and covers many different concepts. This article on the other hand is specific and focussed. It would benefit from expansion perhaps but not from a merge. -- Derek Ross | Talk 05:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I think we should add this section onto the love page but also keep this page by itself, so you're basically duplicating it. -- Patman2648 | Talk 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree with derek. we should not remove this page. and I think that we should not duplicate it either. a link from Love would be fine. Kirils 00:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, this shouldn't be merged with Love as it refers to a specific theory on Love. The theory refers to Passion, Intimacy and Commitment and I wonder if these should be explained according to Sternberg's interpretations. Indeed, the Passion (emotion) link currently redirects to Emotion which is pretty useless so this definitely needs cleared up. -- Chris Paton 21:50 29 January 2006 (UTC)

That's true. Sternberg uses the three words in a technical sense with very specific meanings, so an explanation of each would be a good thing. -- Derek Ross | Talk 03:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you all. So, given the span of time this discussion has covered, and having no opposing opinions, I'll remove the merge tag. Waldir talk 13:51, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
