Vandalism? 77.190.160.115 ( talk) 09:08, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Arachnophobia (the fear of spiders) is one of the most common phobias today. But nowhere on this list do I see it. I believe that it should definitely be included. Combsf ( talk) 16:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Just wondering if there was any need to list the examples of content spammers in the article? Surely by acknowledging their existence in the first place we're inadvertently giving them free advertising eg: 'call 1-800 XXXXX'...? londonsista | Prod 03:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Quite on the contrary, with these quite ridiculous suggestions to cure Russophobia or Prostitute Phobia we are giving them a proper kind of publicity. If, however, after reading this article someone with telephonophobia decides to call 1-800, then peace be upon him :-) Mukadderat ( talk) 04:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I read somewhere that "Apocolocynposis" is the fear of turning into a pumkin. I also saw the same thing when I search it on Google. Is the word accually real? C Teng ( talk) 13:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I read somewhere that it was fear of either a one legged person, or a person with one arm, or something. Anyone want to elaborate and add it to the page? I'm afraid I might accidentally kill the article. Dragana666 ( talk) 18:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I've tried to research this, it's the fear of Nails (hands and feet), I was wondering if this could be verified before it's put in. Pureferret ( talk) 17:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I think it's reasonably obvious that the definition given for hippopot... pretty much axiomatically shows itself to be a falsified word. I vote that it be replaced by Sesquipedaliophobia (which the definition of hippopot... actually recognises as being the fear of words longer than one-and-a-half feet) with a reference to the fact that -hippopoto- and -monstrose- both mean the same thing and were almost irrefutably appended to make the word seem longer for the sake of irony.

Right now, phobophobia is listed in the "fictional phobias," with no citations or examples of its "fictional" usage, as opposed to all the other words in the section. However, according to Merriam-Webster's medical dictionary, phobophobia is an actual word meaning "excessive fear of acquiring a phobia." Therefore, I'm moving phobophobia to the "psychological conditions" section with this citation. SnoKoneManiac ( talk) 06:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Agoraphobia is a fear of open or public places. It is a valid word used by psychiatrists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.223.170 ( talk) 19:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Is there a word/name for the fear of Bites or being Bitten? For every phobia list (medical, psychological, or even fictional), I have yet to find any suggested words/names for this. I read once (a couple years ago) that it doesn't exist, but instead becomes referred to more specific phobia, such as the fear of dogs, fear of insects, fear of teeth, fear of blood or fear of pain (forgive me for not being able to remember the names of these phobia off the top of my head). Even so, asking teachers and other students at several UK colleges and universities that I have visited, most agree that it is a valid psychological fear, which is moderately common (albeit not so much as Arachnophobia), and is also treated with the same psychological therapies as most phobias. If so, why is it that it does not have a name? Signed by 90.45.71.90 ( talk) 11:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
In one of the archives of this "talk page", I see that someone has mentioned gossyphobia, the fear of cotton balls. I'm just wondering why it hasn't been included in the main list, in some capacity.
In a similar list of phobias somewhere, I remember hearing included a word that means "fear of morning" or "fear of sunrise". Obviously, a Dracula-type vampire might be said to have "fear of sunrise", but I believe there was a more practical usage, such as the dread that a person suffering from insomnia might feel as he realizes that the dawn light is appearing and he still hasn't managed to have any decent sleep for the entire night. Anyone know what this word is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.153.118 ( talk) 01:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Do we really need that sub-section? Most have only been mentioned once. Wise dude321 ( talk) 17:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
No, we don't need that subsection. If people add nonsense, the correct thing to do is to remove it and warn them, not to put it into a special section for nonsense. What we need is actual sources for all these listings, from reliable sources showing notability of the term. DreamGuy ( talk) 18:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Why isn't Anatidaephobia (the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you) notable? It was in a Far Side cartoon. That's notable enough! -- MicahBrwn ( talk) 06:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

The section entitled "Prejudices and discrimination" is prejudicial itself. A given phobia in the section may not necessarily be prejudicially anti-ethnic, but may be a strong, abnormal aversion to the culture, or even simply be delusional. In fact, the labeller, as opposed to the labelled may be the one prejudicial. I would prefer to see abnormal aversion to prejudice in the text, as it more accurately describes the phobias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.29.74.137 ( talk) 17:20, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

So here's the thing: there are tons of meh-to-acceptable sources on goofy phobias, and many good sources on a small number of phobias. People are going to come to Wikipedia looking for them. Some might be looking for real psychological information, some might be looking for the goofy stuff for goofiness sake, but this very page gets 1500 hits a day. It's a notable list topic, and will surely be kept at the ongoing AfD, but let's talk about how best to cover the subject.
The list is useful from an editing perspective in that many of the -phobia articles get a lot of pageviews (i.e. people are looking for them) but they aren't really notable enough for a stand-alone article. With proper criteria for inclusion/sourcing and a solid lead, this could be an good place to consolidate (indeed, to some extent it serves that purpose already).
It seems sensible to clarify that we're talking about specific phobias, then to remove agoraphobia and social phobias (clarifying in the lead that they're classified separately). Also useful to state that while more or less anything can be the subject of a specific phobia, most talk of these come about because people find them funny/weird (this is already mentioned in the lead).
We could set an inclusion criteria that requires a good peer reviewed scientific journal or book as a source, which would excise several on the list. There's an open question, however, whether they're best removed from Wikipedia altogether or sent to a subsection or separate list. (Again, people are looking for them -- that's not always a reason to do something, of course, but it leaves an open question of "why isn't it here" that we could answer with, effectively, "because it's just something someone made up").
This is sort of stream of consciousnessy, but it seems this sort of conversation needs to start somewhere :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:24, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Anuptaphobia- the fear of being single Firestorm888 ( talk) 06:34, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
After I removed the unreliable Cram101, barophobia is sourced to Campbell's Dictionary - which I gather from the discussion above is not considered sufficient. Barophobia appears in lists of phobias dating back at least to the 1970s, but as a real name for a real phobia in medicine I'm not finding much. PubMed draws a blank. Google Scholar tells us "Most bacteria are barophobic in that their growth is inhibited by pressure" - quite a different meaning. I did find G. Stanley Hall: A Study of Fears. The American Journal of Psychology, Vol. 8, No. 2 (Jan., 1897), pp. 147-249, which says "without any suggestion of a new morbid entity, it would be convenient to have a term like barophobia for the gravity fears". Full text available at http://www.jstor.org/stable/1410940, though I've not accessed it. Is this entry sufficiently attested? Fences& Windows 08:29, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
To editor Jytdog: I removed the phobia from the "B" list to the "G" list for the very reason that "barophobia" is at best an unnofficial phobia name; however, "gravity phobia" as described in the American Journal of Psychology source is an important phobia and an important addition to this list, in my humble opinion. Why don't you agree to find a way to keep the entry in the list? Is the removal of the entire entry the best solution? Paine Ellsworth put'r there 00:17, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I´d like to suggest a neologism as I could not find it in your list of phobias; "atavismphobia" is not in your list and I´m currently writing a book which calls for this term. Oikophobia is the only term that comes close to it, but it´s not quite the same. Fear of one´s genealogical past is what I was looking for. I deem this fear to be, surreptitiously, behind racism as its cause. Thank you. 77.172.150.38 ( talk) 09:42, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

I think it's reasonably obvious that the definition given for hippopot... pretty much axiomatically shows itself to be a falsified word. I vote that it be replaced by Sesquipedaliophobia (which the definition of hippopot... actually recognises as being the fear of words longer than one-and-a-half feet) with a reference to the fact that -hippopoto- and -monstrose- both mean the same thing and were almost irrefutably appended to make the word seem longer for the sake of irony.

Right now, phobophobia is listed in the "fictional phobias," with no citations or examples of its "fictional" usage, as opposed to all the other words in the section. However, according to Merriam-Webster's medical dictionary, phobophobia is an actual word meaning "excessive fear of acquiring a phobia." Therefore, I'm moving phobophobia to the "psychological conditions" section with this citation. SnoKoneManiac ( talk) 06:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Agoraphobia is a fear of open or public places. It is a valid word used by psychiatrists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.223.170 ( talk) 19:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Is there a word/name for the fear of Bites or being Bitten? For every phobia list (medical, psychological, or even fictional), I have yet to find any suggested words/names for this. I read once (a couple years ago) that it doesn't exist, but instead becomes referred to more specific phobia, such as the fear of dogs, fear of insects, fear of teeth, fear of blood or fear of pain (forgive me for not being able to remember the names of these phobia off the top of my head). Even so, asking teachers and other students at several UK colleges and universities that I have visited, most agree that it is a valid psychological fear, which is moderately common (albeit not so much as Arachnophobia), and is also treated with the same psychological therapies as most phobias. If so, why is it that it does not have a name? Signed by 90.45.71.90 ( talk) 11:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
In one of the archives of this "talk page", I see that someone has mentioned gossyphobia, the fear of cotton balls. I'm just wondering why it hasn't been included in the main list, in some capacity.
In a similar list of phobias somewhere, I remember hearing included a word that means "fear of morning" or "fear of sunrise". Obviously, a Dracula-type vampire might be said to have "fear of sunrise", but I believe there was a more practical usage, such as the dread that a person suffering from insomnia might feel as he realizes that the dawn light is appearing and he still hasn't managed to have any decent sleep for the entire night. Anyone know what this word is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.153.118 ( talk) 01:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

The section entitled "Prejudices and discrimination" is prejudicial itself. A given phobia in the section may not necessarily be prejudicially anti-ethnic, but may be a strong, abnormal aversion to the culture, or even simply be delusional. In fact, the labeller, as opposed to the labelled may be the one prejudicial. I would prefer to see abnormal aversion to prejudice in the text, as it more accurately describes the phobias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.29.74.137 ( talk) 17:20, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

So here's the thing: there are tons of meh-to-acceptable sources on goofy phobias, and many good sources on a small number of phobias. People are going to come to Wikipedia looking for them. Some might be looking for real psychological information, some might be looking for the goofy stuff for goofiness sake, but this very page gets 1500 hits a day. It's a notable list topic, and will surely be kept at the ongoing AfD, but let's talk about how best to cover the subject.
The list is useful from an editing perspective in that many of the -phobia articles get a lot of pageviews (i.e. people are looking for them) but they aren't really notable enough for a stand-alone article. With proper criteria for inclusion/sourcing and a solid lead, this could be an good place to consolidate (indeed, to some extent it serves that purpose already).
It seems sensible to clarify that we're talking about specific phobias, then to remove agoraphobia and social phobias (clarifying in the lead that they're classified separately). Also useful to state that while more or less anything can be the subject of a specific phobia, most talk of these come about because people find them funny/weird (this is already mentioned in the lead).
We could set an inclusion criteria that requires a good peer reviewed scientific journal or book as a source, which would excise several on the list. There's an open question, however, whether they're best removed from Wikipedia altogether or sent to a subsection or separate list. (Again, people are looking for them -- that's not always a reason to do something, of course, but it leaves an open question of "why isn't it here" that we could answer with, effectively, "because it's just something someone made up").
This is sort of stream of consciousnessy, but it seems this sort of conversation needs to start somewhere :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:24, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Anuptaphobia- the fear of being single Firestorm888 ( talk) 06:34, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
After I removed the unreliable Cram101, barophobia is sourced to Campbell's Dictionary - which I gather from the discussion above is not considered sufficient. Barophobia appears in lists of phobias dating back at least to the 1970s, but as a real name for a real phobia in medicine I'm not finding much. PubMed draws a blank. Google Scholar tells us "Most bacteria are barophobic in that their growth is inhibited by pressure" - quite a different meaning. I did find G. Stanley Hall: A Study of Fears. The American Journal of Psychology, Vol. 8, No. 2 (Jan., 1897), pp. 147-249, which says "without any suggestion of a new morbid entity, it would be convenient to have a term like barophobia for the gravity fears". Full text available at http://www.jstor.org/stable/1410940, though I've not accessed it. Is this entry sufficiently attested? Fences& Windows 08:29, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
To editor Jytdog: I removed the phobia from the "B" list to the "G" list for the very reason that "barophobia" is at best an unnofficial phobia name; however, "gravity phobia" as described in the American Journal of Psychology source is an important phobia and an important addition to this list, in my humble opinion. Why don't you agree to find a way to keep the entry in the list? Is the removal of the entire entry the best solution? Paine Ellsworth put'r there 00:17, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I´d like to suggest a neologism as I could not find it in your list of phobias; "atavismphobia" is not in your list and I´m currently writing a book which calls for this term. Oikophobia is the only term that comes close to it, but it´s not quite the same. Fear of one´s genealogical past is what I was looking for. I deem this fear to be, surreptitiously, behind racism as its cause. Thank you. 77.172.150.38 ( talk) 09:42, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Is there any way to distinguish between the widely held phobias and the ones that have been had by 5 people? Koopinator ( talk) 14:07, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
would this help? http://cariocaconfessions.blogspot.com/2007/01/episcophobia.html Besides, Queen Victoria had it herself when she was a child. Just as well she got over it before she was crowned, or her coronation would have been even sillier, eh? Visokor ( talk) 10:36, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
