- Keep. This article contains useful information that supprt Love but is useful in its own right standing alone. Ex nihil 01:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - it's fairly wacky, but it checks out as a real theory by Stendhal: see Google News and Google Books. It does, however, need sourcing and reduction of excessive quotation. Gordonofcartoon 03:21, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This is not pseudoscience. Stendhal's crystallization concept does not pretend to be anything but literary. The article does not make it out to be anything more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.189.92 (talk) 20:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC) — 158.143.189.92 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Either keep, or merge back into Limerence article (from which it was originally split off), but don't delete. Contains relevant historical information. AnonMoos 21:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I go for the former. They are rather different in that Limerence is a psychological theory, while crystallization is a lay literary idea. Gordonofcartoon 14:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
