WP:NEO. Skomorokh 15:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn per The Heymann Standard. Skomorokh  16:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs expansion, but the term is referenced to a reliable source and has 36k ghits. //   Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 15:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NEO per nominator plus WP:NOT. Ros0709 (talk) 15:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Strongest possible keep. Term itself has received significant coverage:

Nomophobia, the latest in the stress list. (2008, April 2). The Statesman.)

Of all the things that you can be stressed of... (2008, April 1). The Statesman,

Nomophobia, the plague of our 24/7 age. (2008, March 31). Daily Mail,5.

It has coverage in several outlets. Things that are this obviously notable should not be deleted. Neologisms are fine articles if they have received this much coverage as terms. Those of you favoring the deletion of articles like this should do a few basic searches before rendering such opinions. Celarnor Talk to me 15:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Notability is not an issue here, nor are sources. The issue is that "articles simply attempting to define a neologism are inappropriate". Those of you favouring the keeping of articles like this should read the six-character long nomination before rendering such opinions. In good humour, Skomorokh  15:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This AfD is to determine whether or not the topic is notable enough to have it's own article. Arguments dependent on the current state of the article are irrelevant, as those can be solved by methods other than deletion, such as editing the article.

 * Comment: I've expanded the article and added just a few of the innumerable sources that cover the topic. Nominator may want to take a second look and consider withdrawal.  Celarnor Talk to me  16:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Also, the relevant sections of WP:NEO regarding acceptable articles should be reviewed:

"To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term—not books and papers that use the term." Celarnor Talk to me 16:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
