The 2001 paper (doi:10.5414/CPP39279) appears to be an English translation of the former; I can't access it but this website hosts a copy of it.

- I see a German-language publication at https://www.google.com/books/edition/Forever_young/6umyNwAACAAJ?hl=en and a pretty good description in https://www.google.com/books/edition/Psychosomatische_Dermatologie/RWIhBAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA50&printsec=frontcover There are a few paragraphs in https://www.google.com/books/edition/Ästhetische_und_plastische_Operationen/UjjNP2Ujb4gC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq="Dorian+Gray-Syndrom"&pg=PA3 There is one paragraph in https://www.google.com/books/edition/Enzyklop%C3%A4die_der_Eponymen_Syndrome_und/BiGQDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA74 https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hauterkrankungen/bpubEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA197 only has a sentence, but puts it in the context of seeking cosmetic treatments. The paragraph in https://www.google.com/books/edition/Wenn_das_Spiegelbild_zur_Qual_wird/6p2bEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PT12 places it in the context of Body dysmorphic disorder and specifically the excessive use of lifestyle medicine to fulfill a wish to always be young. I think it's probably notable. (All of the sources are in German, and it would be easier to use them if you can read at least a little German.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:10, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. Just to note, your second and fifth links are to books edited by Uwe Gieler, who I noted above is not an independent source. The remainder don't appear to give anything more than a basic definition. The exception is the first link, Forever Young! by Reese, which looks more promising, but I can't access it. It's marked up as a dissertation by WorldCat, so I'm not sure to what extent it can be considered a secondary source. I can view the blurb on Amazon; the author seems to be advancing the thesis that Dorian Gray Syndrome can also occur in children. We can probably assume that the work contains a decent amount of secondary information on the syndrome as described by Brosig et al., and if so then I'd be willing to consider this as one source contributing to notability, but without access to it I can't be certain. I don't believe any of your other links constitute significant independent coverage. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 05:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
