Handiphobia

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

"Widely accepted" neologism whose only sources are one random interview and a dictionary entry. Prod removed by author. JuJube (talk) 13:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete I accept that the word is used and sources could be found verifying this, however Wikipedia is not a dictionary.Guest9999 (talk) 16:57, 17 November 2007 (UTC)]]
 * Keep Not much of an article, but context is given there beyond what would fit into a dictionary entry. Needs expansion and further sourcing. DGG (talk) 16:45, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Almost non-existant on Goggle (and, for what it's worth, what one finds tends to show it to be connected to religion as much as to science). Not enough notability for an article. I might also mention that fobia as used in the article may be the name of a band, but it's neither a word nor an accepted alternate spelling. Tim Ross ·talk  18:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails to meet the guideline for coverage of neologisms, which is how the article presents itself to us. Usage isn't enough, we need reliable sources about the term.  Doubletongued dictionary fails reliablity as it is user generated content.  For the potential alternative article on a phobia, we are looking for a solid source like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.  GRBerry 04:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
