Teratophilia

Microstub, only one source, no hope of expansion. And if anyone asks, I came across this by clicking "random", I swear. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 17:16, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Unless some source is found which discusses this, rather than just defining it. I believe it's a real thing and might merit an article someday.Steve Dufour (talk) 17:38, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge Yes, it's a real thing but it would be better incorporated into the parent article Paraphilia until it is strong enough to stand on its own, likely never. Drawn Some (talk) 22:38, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * merge unless it can be expanded. DGG' (talk) 23:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. Acrotomophilia would be considered a "subcat" of this and there's a good, well-sourced article for that subject.   Mandsford (talk) 00:52, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge/listify. We should include this information but a full article doesn't seem to be needed as of yet. -- Banj e  b oi   00:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. There's no evidence that Koren's article was referring to a fetish. I can't even find an abstract, but it is talking about cocaine use in pregnancy, which has been proposed to have teratogenic effects on the fetus. Fences and windows (talk) 23:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge. Kingsley Amis used the term in a short story in 1980 and it has a listing here, but it isn't used much or described in any detail. Btw, Attraction to disability is similar but not the same thing. Fences and windows (talk) 23:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment If it hasn't managed to get more than one line and a single source in four years - is there any point. Maybe a sub section alongside teratophobia (see Requests for arbitration/SemBubenny/Evidence/Deleted articles beneath Teratology (humans and other animals) and/or Paraphilia
