Talk:Herodism

RFV discussion: July–September 2018
"The compulsion to abuse small children". I'm not convinced that this is what "Herodism" actually means. Please convince me (or perhaps better, correct the definition). Equinox ◑ 02:21, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I should not have been the one to create this entry. I seem to have gotten the definition from this book, and I vaguely remember some other books giving similar contexts, although I can't seem to find them now and it could have just been an error in my judgment of such contexts. I now try to give citations for all the entries I create, which may help with future confusions such as these. Nevertheless, I have added a definition request line for other senses of this term, as Google Books shows the word definitely is in use, but as you said not likely to mean this. Sorry about this!

 * Every quote I find that supports a definition of a compulsion to child abuse ultimately traces back to "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" by Mario Vargas Llosa, including the link given by above. However, it looks to me like that was an idiosyncratic coinage by Llosa. I have, however, added and cited three other definitions. Kiwima (talk) 05:19, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
