Initial comment

Why is sympathy and remorse considered a syndrome?

Sounds more like they relized "Shit, this is a bad idea."--76.174.34.216 (talk) 06:19, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Notability

I'm dubious on this page. Google scholar turns up three hits, and quite dubious ones. I'm tempted to nominate it for deletion. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 12:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree. For a start, the information about Stockholm Sydrome is incorrect. Stockholm Syndrome occures when both the captor and captive form an emotional bond. Therefore "Lima Syndrome" is not the reverse of Stockholm Syndrome, its just one of the symptoms. I'm going to change that at the very least. I will back a deleation however.

Nope, in Stockholm syndrome the captive forms an emotional bond with the captor, -- no evidence that the reverse would happen. 82.131.41.97 (talk) 09:00, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm new to Wikipedia and I know nothing about code and/or syntax. But I think this is an unessesary page. Maybe could you people make it so if you typed in "Lima Syndrome" you'd get redirected to the Stockholm page? And add an addendum to the Stockholm page about how, when, why. It's called Lima syndrome? I personally have never heard about it. But it could be a regional phrase. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.221.92 (talk) 01:43, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Merge or delete I agree. Merge, delete or redirect. Personally feel stronger about a delete. I've never heard of Lima Syndrome. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist; but it's basically the same as Stockholm Syndrome, not the inverse! The statements in the page make little to no sense.

Merge

With the AFD lingering like a dead woodchuck, I'm tempted to merge the page instead. There is only one scholarly citation (to PTSD) which contains a single line. It seems rather obvious to me that the term has not been adopted by the scholarly community at all, and at best should be a brief note in Stockholm syndrome.
