Lucky girl syndrome

[edit]

I learned of a phrase called “lucky girl syndrome” which has been viral on TikTok for several years and was not otherwise mentioned on the Law of Attraction Wikipedia page (which already covers associated terms like The Secret and "manifestation"). So I made a redirect to that page for the new phrase. An editor disagreed that the two things had anything in common, and marked my REDIRECT for deletion… so it is now up for discussion. So today I decided to go another route and add material to this page concerning lucky girl syndrome. So after reading what I have added, let me know your thoughts. Am I off base linking the two concepts? It seems to me the linking of the names has been written about in the media. Or should this be moved to a new page? You can also comment on the REDIRECT deletion here. Rp2006 (talk) 00:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After a deletion discussion, the decision was to keep the redirect. Rp2006 (talk) 06:19, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Pygmalion Effect

[edit]

These (law of attraction and the pygmalion effect) are pretty much the same, aren't they? Matayanka (talk) 07:33, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. Pygmalion Effect is about performance of a person being influenced by their attitude. Law of attraction is about their luck being influenced by their attitude. The first is reasonable, the second is stupid.
And this is not a forum. It is for improving the article. We would not use your claim that those two are the same in the article even if it were correct, because it would be WP:OR. --Hob Gadling (talk) 08:11, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
