Violates WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary by being about the expression "nut case," not about the nut cases themselves (who are covered in Mental illness.) Jaque Hammer (talk) 05:54, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

… plus the two cited sources do not actually support any of the content that they are purported to support. They in fact exist only to supply quotations of an idiom in use, in classic dictionary style. Then there's the tagging of the article for Project:WikiProject Psychology. It's somewhat amusing, and rather saddening, that someone foolishly thought that there's a concrete concept in the world of psychology by this name. But we've had these problems since 2005 in the nutter article (which has, unfortunately, had the baby thrown out with the bathwater recently). Uncle G (talk) 11:20, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
