W5. Wikipedia edits (데스트루도) - Gyongmin Moon 문경민

This week I created the Korean Wiki's article about Destrudo(데스트루도).

Destrudo is a name vested in the psychoanalytic concept; the death drive. The term death drive was created by Sigmund Freud, an Australian psychoanalyst, who also created the term sex drive; Libido. Sex drive is an energy pulse full of the will to live and create, and the death drive is an energy pulse full of the will to destroy and attack. Both terms conflict with each other, but Freud gave name to the sex drive, which is Libido, but he never named the death drive. So, Paul Federn, Freud's pupil gave it a name, Mortido. But later on, Weiss, who is the psychoanalyst of the next generation, gave the term a name, Destrudo. Finally, Charles Brenner chose to use the name, Destrudo in his papers, and the name for the term was fixed as Destrudo since then.

After completing to create the Korean Wikipedia article for it, I found that there is a discussion made in the English article, about whether we should combine it into the article death drive with Mortido. But as I read the papers for Destrudo to fully translate this article, I think to have them as separate is fine because even though they are describing the same idea, it is made by different people. And since we are talking about the psychoanalytic here. Every time someone says something, it's always become some other idea with similar directional nature. Just like the old saying: 'It's not what you say it, it's how you say it.'

My question for this writing is already presented above. What do you think? Do you think those articles should be combined into one? Or are they just OK being separated articles?
