Nanophilia
Was listed for speedy deletion but may not be a speedy candidate. The topic is a Requested article, and although the article in its current state is little more than an unverified dicdef, I suspect someone here will be able to make an encyclopedia-worthy stub (at least) for this topic by the time this AFD is through. No vote from me. Angr/undefined 11:45, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to -philia. Pburka 16:27, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * delete, no redirect. Dicdef at best. Nonnotable, nonverifiable. mikka (t) 18:36, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect. This is not mentioned in paraphilia. I don't think anything more than a definition is ever going to come of this. Dave 19:13, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; a google search seems to indicate that this is the standard, accepted term for this sexual preference. It should be added to paraphilia. I wouldn't think that even so much as a dicdef could come from robot fetishism, but if we have an article on that then surely we can and should have an article on this. --DavidConrad 21:47, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * A more careful ispection of googel search results shows about 160 unique pages with no serious content, only copycats of someone's silly coinage. mikka (t) 22:12, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I saw a number of porn sites in the results, but looking further on I found a number of lists of fetishes and/or unusual words, with this word in it. They did not all have exactly the same set of words, so they did not all appear to be derived from one another. I don't believe this is a silly coinage. It is from the Greek &nu;&alpha;&nu;&omicron;&sigmaf;, dwarf, and &phi;&iota;&lambda;&#x3af;&alpha;, love of, fondness for. Try this Google search. --DavidConrad 05:18, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
