Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Agyrophobia


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Merge and redirect as there's noticeable comments suggesting either a merge or a redirect which are essentially the same, and therefore since there's no flooded analysis or comments exactly what should and what should not be merge, is why I will only redirect alone; anyone who wants to merge whatever and however can, from the history (NAC); including since the target is in itself only a list, and not an actual full article.

Agyrophobia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

You would think this would be fear of spinning.... Anyway, the usual made-up phobia results, namely, nothing medical and precious little beyond the usual Greek-root mix and match lists. Mangoe (talk) 16:03, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep It's listed in The Guardian and The Times of India as a phobia; there's even an entry in Wiktionary and in this dictionary too. I know some people who are afraid of crossing streets (eg young children). Agree it's probably not a valid medical term although there is a definition here but then the article should say that it's not considered a real medical condition. Still, if the media such as USA Today continues to use it, it should stay in Wikipedia.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:23, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to List of phobias. That it's mentioned or used in various listicles and dictionaries doesn't mean it's a notable encyclopedic topic (i.e. WP:DICDEF, WP:GNG). &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:39, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete wikipedia is not a dictionary. No significant content available per WP:MEDRS. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:46, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge to List of phobias. It doesn't seem notable, potentially enough to be put in a list. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 22:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to List of phobias. Sufficient notability to be in a list, insufficient reliably sourced content available to have its own article. Fieari (talk) 01:53, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of phobias which is enough. The subject doesn't have reliable sourced content to have it's own article. Ayub 407 talk 06:54, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
