Leukophobia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I find no reliable sources for this. All of the what-passes-for substantial content comes from a set of blogs and self-published sites, and everything else is from grab-bag "every word out there"-phobia collections. GScholar draws a complete blank except for metaphoric uses in social science contexts. One would think that for a real phobia there would be case studies at least.

 * Delete per nom. I can't find any academic or medical works using the term online, except as a euphemism for racism against white people. It's worth noting that [insert term here] phobia is a common and accepted use, even in academia from what I've seen for unique phobias, so even if a case study or two were found, I don't think that would be enough to establish the notability of the term. I'll happily change my vote to keep if someone can find more than the handful of cases I've found of it being used as a euphemism for anti-caucasian racism, and at least one RS discussing it's use in that sense. But even then, the article would need to be entirely re-written. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  18:03, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete While I'm sure this may indeed be a phobia, the fact that there isn't any reliable sources, especially those in the academic or psychological field, leads me to say this just cannot be verified. RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:04, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge any suitably referenced content (if there actually is any) into Chromophobia. Exemplo347 (talk) 18:07, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Change that to Delete - one of the sources within the article specifically disagrees with the definition of the term "Leukophobia" that the author of this article has used. Exemplo347 (talk) 18:11, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * what was the source and the disagreement? If you don't mind me asking. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.
 * The source given [|here] states that Leukophobia is a fear of having a pale or white complexion. No fear of "white" (as a form of Chromophobia) is listed in this source and in my opinion, the case for merging the article with Chromophobia is non-existent. The other sources used in this article are unreliable which is why I changed from "Merge" to "Delete" - Exemplo347 (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment There is the article on Phobia Wikia that I copied off Wikipedia, so I don't care if this Wikipedia article will be kept or deleted, I'll leave it up to other voters. Planet  Star  02:20, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to chromophobia, a logical choice for a possible search term that is not that common. Bearian (talk) 16:19, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I do not think this is appropriate. That article is very problematic and conflates a lot of different subjects. From what I can tell in a quick literature search, there's nothing reliable out there on "chromophobia" as an actual psychiatric condition; it seems on the one hand to refer to issues of cell development on the one hand and aversion to use of color in deisgn on the other.
