Fear of happiness

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The one apparently independent source, psychology today, just seems to mention it among many other things in an article that gives no references.  DGG ( talk ) 00:28, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Interesting content does not belong at what is essentially a neologism article. Shii (tock) 06:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep It is a moment's work to find more sources such as the British Journal of Clinical Psychology or Scientific American. Note that I'm merging in cherophobia which is the same topic per The Encyclopedia of Phobias, Fears, and Anxieties.  We should prefer the title fear of happiness as it is plain English, and not jargon or a neologism. Andrew (talk) 07:02, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. More than just a neologism.  Well-enough sourced.  Needs mention at happiness.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:55, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep the article is well referenced, but it can further be improved. Also it should expand to include physiological characters, like symptoms and treatment, besides cultural thinking. Planet  Star  22:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
