Real self

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Superfluous as "real self" is closely related to "true self" in true self and false self. It is conceptually a fore runner and should really be mentioned in true self and false self. Much of the text used here comes from Karen Horney which also mentions the complimentary concept "ideal self" (equivalent to false self) but that does not have a separate article. Real self should redirect to true self and false self as true self does. Penbat (talk) 17:15, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not deserve a separate article. If there is anything that hasn't been repeated, then merge such content into the appropriate articles (e.g. either Horney or the true and false self article).

 * Comment It is dubious whether there is any text worth salvaging but more importantly Karen Horney should have some coverage in true self and false self to tie the strands together. I have made a comment here - Talk:True self and false self. I have taken a copy of this article just in case - User:Penbat/Real self. --Penbat (talk) 18:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to True self and false self (no need to delete the version history: Horney's concept of "real self" squarely fits into that article, so a redirect is justified). --Chris Howard (talk) 22:42, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree.--Penbat (talk) 09:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
