This page gives undue weight to Hilgard or Hilgard's theory which is weakly sourced, especially for a medical topic. It is fully redundant with Dissociation (psychology). Kate the mochii (talk) 17:08, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Ernest Hilgard as an WP:ATD. Even if the topic is notable (which looks questionable to me based on a quick search), the material is probably better covered on Hilgard's page. Suriname0 (talk) 01:26, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Ernest Hilgard. The current state of the article leaves a lot to be desired. Every significant claim is either left unsourced, or neatly ornamented with {{citation needed}}. The independent article gives undue weight to a theory that is poorly researched. However, a merge would appropriately re-frame the subject as a hypothesis by a notable psychologist, rather than a notable subject and theory in and of itself.

Weak merge to Ernest Hilgard, although that looks challenging to do. The ensuing redirect, however, should probably be pointed to Dissociation (psychology) (where both Jung and Hilgard get some coverage) per the principle of least astonishment. Alternatively, given that the merge is nontrivial, perhaps we could just redirect to Dissociation (psychology) and leave a pointer on Talk:Ernest Hilgard for any future editors who might be interested in figuring out whether and how to merge this content. -- Visviva (talk) 05:16, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
