Recently recreated article deleted twice before at AfD. CSD declined due to differing content. It is nonetheless still not a notable concept. On one hand it is one of the -phobias that gets a brief mentioned in various lists of [various prefixes] + phobia. On the other hand it's used to mean
misandry. Would also be appropriate to simply redirect to
list of phobias, where it is already listed (and doesn't need additional detail). — Rhododendritestalk \\ 18:34, 22 July 2017 (UTC)reply
Delete. One of the problems with phobias is that it's possible to
snowclone an absolutely limitless number of words for new phobias, simply by attaching a Latin or Greek prefix to -phobia, to define an irrational fear of absolutely anything that exists. So to make this a notable concept that would warrant an encyclopedia article, what would be needed is not mere dictionary definitions, which is all that's present for referencing here — we would need actual substance to suggest that this term actually has real-world context, such as sources which discuss it in depth as a concept and analyze actual examples of the purported phobia in action. Boilerplate
dictionary definitions of what it technically means as a term aren't enough to merit an encyclopedia article by themselves, if we can't show any substance beyond that.

delete and salt. For years the article failed to be more than dictionary definition.

Delete. I found
this source, but I don't think that it is a suitable reference. I could not find any papers in
Pubmed, nor any description in psychiatry textbooks.
