Talk:kleptomnesia

RFV discussion: September 2022–February 2023
A new entry, with two senses: "A psychological disorder in which people steal things without any memory of the theft" and "Generating an idea that you believe is novel, but in fact was created by someone else". I can see sense 2 mentioned (not really used) in a small handful of books, but it seems to be an invented word without real currency. Sense 1 might not exist at all.

 * Added three citations that are all basically the same sentence with slightly different wording. 98.170.164.88 23:50, 16 September 2022 (UTC)


 * (You've added 3 cites to sense #2. Sense #1 is still cite-less.) Thanks for your work: I am, however, not at all happy with the fact that all three citations use the word in quotation marks as a coinage or neologism. We're really scraping the barrel. Equinox ◑ 23:52, 16 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Sense 1 is certainly plausible - "I don't remember" is probably the #1 excuse when people get found out for dishonesty (including theft etc). That being said, if we can't find anything for it we'll just have to stick to terms like and . Theknightwho (talk) 00:54, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * There’s also this from the BBC which could be thought of as a bit ‘mentiony’ as it uses the word only to immediately define it but doesn’t put it in quotation marks. There are a huge number of tweets using the word kleptomnesia too. Overlordnat1 (talk) 01:37, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That article doesn't even include the word. It does use, however. 98.170.164.88 23:02, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oops! That must be my biggest brain fart of the year but I’d still maintain that sense 2 of this word should scrape through based on the existing quotes. Sense 1 seems much harder to justify, though.Overlordnat1 (talk) 00:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

RFV Passed for sense 2. Ioaxxere (talk) 22:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
