Largely an editorial thinkpiece making extensive use of WP:SYNTH and showing signs of WP:COAT. Sources appear scholarly, but are difficult to verify and don't seem to be primarily about the topic subject. BEFORE found one and only one article (paywalled) using the "golden fantasy" term in its title. This editor is not convinced, but would welcome a WP:HEY.

Delete: the term has been used in the psychoanalysis field, and the academic sources can be verified - here is the 1977 paper mentioned, and here is a 1986 one. But unless we can find any non-primary references to establish notability, I'm afraid it doesn't belong here. Owen× ☎ 19:40, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
