Fear of Slides

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No significant coverage in reputable publications for a fear of slides as a topic. "toboganaphobia" claim seems to be a hoax. Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 05:02, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete A clear G3 candidate. Should be speedy deleted. Sulfurboy (talk) 08:02, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete A Google search shows that some children do have this fear, whether in playgrounds or water parks, but the search results are mostly forums and it is not discussed in reliable sources (the closest I got was which isn't really an irrational fear). Hence, not notable unless someone can find much better sources. And the current article is jokey nonsense so it would need a total rewrite. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:19, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete obvious jokey nonsense, not even a proper hoax. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:16, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

 * KEEP This seems legitimate. There aren't many resources on the topic because it is a fairly new discovery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skb1235990493 (talk • contribs) 13:06, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
