Proposed merging Messiah Complex into God complex[edit]
Messiah complex has little information not covered in god complex. Sources from messiah complex aren't substantial. 2nd reference defines messiah complex as "does not concentrates on the statistical and diagnostic delusions or delusion of grandeur. This kind of psychological issue is usually acquired by patients who have schizophrenia and bipolar disorders" (typo left in). In the section == Religious delusion == it makes a contradictory definition of messiah complex that was stated in 2nd ref. 3rd reference is a link to the 2nd ref, but in the chapter notes of the book. In the 2nd ref, 4th paragraph, it says, "According to the modern psychology, it is not difficult to understand the people who want to be like God. It is true that all the people desire to have extra ordinary powers that can save the world and mankind. But, people are living in this world that is full of challenges. There is only one God who protect mankind and that is Jesus Christ" (typo left in). Article that defines messiah complex equates Jesus Christ to God. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Estoytranquile (talk • contribs) 21:17, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The second source is a WP:BLOG, and therefore not a WP:RS. It is no surprise that it contains mistakes. I believe that there is a clear distinction between someone who "holds a belief that they are destined to become a savior" and someone who has "inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or infallibility" and so I would oppose this merge.

I agree with SailingInABathTub. The God complex and the Messiah complex are two different concepts that may only sometimes partially overlap, such as the Jerusalem syndrome and the Messiah complex. Therefore, in 9 language versions of Wikipedia, the God complex and the Messiah complex have separate articles, and in any language version they are not merged into 1 article. Therefore, it should remain as it is today. Wikipek (talk) 08:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Closing, with no merge given the uncontested objections and no support with stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 15:07, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
