Koinoniphobia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The usual phobia case: nothing but lists from non-clinical works, except for one homeopathic instance. But they define it too, and that's all you'll find anywhere. Mangoe (talk) 22:37, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep It mentions about historical uses. Planet  Star  02:42, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The North American Journal of Homeopathy is not a reliable medical source. Mangoe (talk) 13:57, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

 * delete and salt This is gobbledegook (see here) "fun with greek" and there are no MEDRS sources in pub med.  Per our current List of phobias article which will hopefully soon be deleted, "A large number of -phobia lists circulate on the Internet, with words collected from indiscriminate sources, often copying each other. Also, a number of psychiatric websites exist that at the first glance cover a huge number of phobias, but in fact use a standard text to fit any phobia and reuse it for all unusual phobias by merely changing the name. Sometimes it leads to bizarre results, such as suggestions to cure "prostitute phobia". Such practice is known as content spamming and is used to attract search engines."

 * delete - Excluding the "example in popular culture", this article is only 70 words long. The main problem, however, is that the article does not contains any reliable in-depth coverage of the phrase. Searching in PubMed does not return any articles about this phrase, for example. There are currently a couple of instances cited where it has appeared in published works, but the examples included are not sufficient to establish notability.

 * Delete per what everyone else said. —PermStrump  ( talk )  23:00, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
