Cocktailphobia
The result was   Speedy delete under WP:CSD. I did not delete it immediately as a WP:HOAX based only on the judgment of one or two editors, but the consensus is now clear below so I don't think it's out-of-process to go ahead and delete after just two days. (Throw in a little bit of WP:IAR if necessary.) Frank  |  talk  16:17, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Apparent hoax article with no references. Google searches come up empty. Medical database searches are similarly devoid of hits, using both "cocktailphobia" and "cocktail phobia". No prejudice against inclusion if it turns out to be a real condition, but it has no references now and they so far have been elusive. At least two editors have tried to find them so far.

 * Delete I have also tried to find sources for this and have come up empty. However will glady change my vote if someone can find more information on this. Ridernyc (talk) 22:30, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and Ridernyc. I will also happily reconsider if new sources come out. -- Cycl o pia talk  23:27, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: sounds nonsensical. Alexius08 (talk) 01:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax, somewhat clever-- "one fears the consumption of brightly coloured drinks and foods". Lots of people dread cocktail parties, but not for that reason.  Mandsford (talk) 18:46, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete G3. Pure vandalism and blatant hoaxes. Шизомби (talk) 00:44, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
