 * Redirect to List of phobias. Maybe someone is knowledgable about those anchored redirects? I always like those, but have never looked into them. But I failed to find any sourcing for this, just some strange horror films. Similar to this deletion discussion here : Articles for deletion/Amychophobia (2nd nomination).

 * delete zero MEDRS sources - no reviews in pubmed; none in PsyNet (can't save searches there- that is just a link to the search page).   just another pseudopychnology "fun with greek" term that gets kicked around in garbage lists on the internet.   Delete and salt like the rest. Jytdog (talk) 02:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of phobias. It appears to have at least one book source.  It may not be a medical term, but it does have at least one cited reference, so it probably wouldn't hurt to show up on the big list. Definitely doesn't need its own article, of course, but deletion isn't necessary as redirects are WP:CHEAP. Fieari (talk) 03:31, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - if I am to believe GoogleBooks, the entire entry from the cited reference is "antophobia Fear of flowers. See also Flowers, fear of." So I do not buy that as a serious claim that the word is in use; hence, not even a redirect. Tigraan Click here to contact me 11:22, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
