Okay. What exactly are you wanting to add to the article from these? — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 20:49, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article should mention real instances of gangstalking and targeted group harassment supported by reliable sources

As the article mentions, the belief someone has that they're being targeted and gangstalked is predominantly delusional. However there's well documented cases of real gangstalking such as people who have been targeted by Kiwi Farms or people who have been targeted by the Church of Scientology for a Noisy investigation. --ScWizard (talk) 19:38, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what this article is about.

It says at the very top : "For real-world stalking by a group of people, see Stalking § Stalking by groups."

As ApLundell says, that's a completely different thing. This article is about the delusional belief, which has its own unique features. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 20:19, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
