[edit] Narcissism and schizoid disorders
I originally suggested that, after substantiation of the contents (which was unclear at that time) portions of this article be merged into two seperate articles Narcissism, Schizoid personality disorder and perhaps a third Schizophrenia. Partly because to create articles linking topics covered seperately by existing articles seems excessive.
However, I cannot seem to verify any of the information in this article as it relates to the topic, beyond the original hypothosis (nothing wrong with that, but not in wikipedia) of Sam Vaknin who originally posted it, and, even as such, the entire hypothesis of a link between Narcissism and schizoid disorders remains to be established.
So, I suggest that this article be deleted --Zeraeph 12:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

- Thought I'd better say that I have tried to verify statements specifically relevant to Narcissism and schizoid disorders attributed to Klein, Freud et al and cannot find a trace of them anywhere. I can't verify the reference to Narcissism and Schizophrenia, but even if I could it doesn't belong here (The relationship between schizoid and schizophrenia is purely semantic). There are verifiable statements concerning Narcissism, verifiable statements concerning schizoid, but not a single verifiable statement connecting the two. It is that connection (the title of the article) that would appear to be original research --Zeraeph 10:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep pending clarification.This article was created in April 2005, spun out of a very long article narcissism. Cannot verify - there are numerous references here to Melanie Klein, Freud and so on. The article is not properly wikified, which would be a good step. The nominator has not been a registered user for long. Since all the talk in the nomination is about merging nback, this could be based on misconceptions. Charles Matthews 08:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
