Bathmophobia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another supposed phobia back-formed into Greek, with the usual lack of any clinical usage and the standard lists of every possible combination of Greek stems. Mangoe (talk) 17:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. There isn't enough coverage in reliable sources to offer more than dictionary definition. There's no indication that it has ever been used in a clinical sense, which is how the article presents it, and it doesn't meet WP:GNG as a social phenomenon like trypophobia or nomophobia. —PermStrump  ( talk )  20:42, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. As per reasons outlined by Mangoe and Perstrump. Searching this term in PubMed doesn't reveal any articles in medical literature. Looking more widely there are a few mentions in recently published lists, but no indication this term has been the focus of any serious study or there is any significant usage of this term.
