Lisa syndrome[edit]

No support or references given, and I couldn't find anything in Google. Likely OR. Notice that creating editor User:Deep Alexander appears to be a Lisa Nordlund and this "syndrome" was supposedly discovered by an Alexander Nordlund, making this a likely WP:COI problem as well.

Delete. The article is nonsense. The observation of a psychological effect such as described when one person changed his online name, even if the effect were to be to substantiated by proper research, does not equate to a "syndrome". This doesn't even qualify as OR, as no research has been done at all. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's OR and a neologism. Definitely not notable. --דניאל - Dantheman531 01:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. (edit conflict) Absolutely WP:OR. Though this does happen in online RPGS alot, it is not a phenomenon, and isn't called Lisa Syndrome. When googled, all it returned was Mona Lisa Syndrome. Malinaccier (talk • contribs) 01:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It doesn't have any sources and nobody has heard of it, sounds like a joke or an ego boost to me. --Freedom Bounty Hunter (talk) 03:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What a load of self-named original research codswallop! "first discovered by Researcher Alexander Nordlund in the late 90s"? Brail (Stephanie Brail (1996). "The price of admission: harassment and free speech in the wild, wild west". In Lynn Cherny and Elizabeth Reba Weise (ed.). Wired Women: Gender and New Realities in Cyberspace. Seattle: Seal Press. pp. 141–157. ISBN 1878067737.) documented how men react to female display names in 1996, and Bruckman (Amy Bruckman (August 1993). "Gender Swapping on the Internet". INET `93, San Francisco. The Internet Society.) documented it in 1993, and it wasn't new even then. (I knew someone who suffered from men stupidly thinking that he was female in the 1980s.) The phenomenon certainly isn't named this. There is zero useful, or true, content in this article. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 04:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline. All attempts to find reliable sources in which article information can be verified have failed. MatthewYeager 23:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
