Ursidphobia

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Dictionary definition for a word from a systematic pattern of names. No references and 0 Ghits to indicate that this term is actually used in a clinical setting. Delete as WP:Verifiability, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball unless reliable sources are provided to show that this word was not just made up by a Steven Colbert fan. --Allen3 talk 02:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I contested the ProD mainly to solicit community input. My vote would be to redirect to specific phobia; however, it is possible that it's a misspelling, in which case I would have no objection to deletion.  (I acknowledge this falls under WP:DICTIONARY, but WP:CRYSTAL is inapplicable.)  69.140.152.55 (talk) 02:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not redirect a word which has no reliable sources that it even exists.  Corvus cornix  talk  02:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per WP:CSD. Blatant disinformation/vandalism. User:Nickbay clearly created this just so he could substantiate a comment left here. WilliamH (talk) 15:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
