 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another phobia with no serious sourcing per WP:MEDRS, no evidence of clinical notability besides handful primary sources of treatment cases. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:14, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2018 September 17.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 21:25, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

 * delete fails WP:MEDRS. No sign of real clinical interest or evidence. ParticipantObserver (talk) 07:39, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete AFDed article was apparently restored without improvement, then Lourdes removed both the SPEEDY and PROD before "improving" it, which improvements consisted of citation-bombing the one-sentence dicdef that was already there. The recent PROD was again disruptively removed by Andrew Davidson without explanation beyond "article has already been AFDed", even though that's a reason for the article to be deleted, not for making those who would prefer it be deleted jump through extra administrative hoops. If this kind of stuff isn't already banned by policy, it definitely should be. I can't see the article prior to the original AFD, but what's there now is garbage, and no version of the article since its recreation has been any different, so G4 probably still applies here.

 * Redirect to "List of phobias". The case report is the only paper in PubMed that mentions eisoptrophobia. I am unable to check "The American Medical Dictionary" reference, but in any case, an entry in a dictionary is unsuitable for establishing notability. A sidebar in "Essentials of Understanding Abnormal Behavior" mentions that Pamela Anderson has eisoptrophobia. The websites for "Stuff", "news.com.au" and "Daily Telegraph" mention eisoptrophobia in passing. The sources demonstrate that the word is genuine with a clear definition, but are not enough to adequately support notability in Wikipedia. The word is already included in the list article.
