[edit] Plant fetish (formerly: Dendrofilia (sexology))

del neologism and original research: a sexual attraction to trees. Not a single reputable source. `'mikka (t) 15:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete Is it possible that this word exists in Spanish but not in English? [1]My Spanish is mediocre, but the first definition listed seems to be pretty obviously a defintion of this word (not apparently lifted from Wikipedia, though I'll defer to any bilingual readers obviously.) And the link on the bottom of the article is to a Spanish website. Though there's no entry for it on the Spanish wikipedia. Feh, it's easy to make neologisms if you know Greek roots. It doesn't make it a word. I'll stick with my delete. Dina 15:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Google will be showing Spanish because of the spelling of the title - try dendrophilia instead. Dlyons493 Talk 20:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• • comment there is an entry on the spanish version now

• Delete the word certainly exists. There was a book whose protagonist was a dendrophiliac (book name escapes me just for the moment, but I can quote the supposed Turkish proverb that was used in the preface). By all means merge to sexology. Dlyons493 Talk 17:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Got it! A Melon for Ecstasy by John Fortune and John Wells. But it's a coinage mainly for humerous use rather than a real condition as I read it. Dlyons493 Talk 17:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete WP:NEO. Anomo 01:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• keep its a real -philia, can we consult an expert in sexology or phychology before we delete it?Qrc2006 01:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia does not use "experts", we use verifiable sources, none which seem to exist for this topic. Haakon 05:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
    • actually it uses both, thats why there this little tag "expert" that you can type in between braces, ultimatly it must be verifiable but i provided a link to a article on the subject, i can speak spanish, perhaps ill translate it on the talk page, i didnt invent the article in the portuguese wikipedia either, its definatly a word thats been around, not a neologism, alltho i do think there isnt much research on the subject, there are many articles with much less validity, can we give it a chance to find some more info in english or consult an expert maybe at a sexology institute who can provide citable verification?Qrc2006 21:45, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, needs a better source than a fictional character. NawlinWiki 02:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator, total nonsense. Let me know when that sexology expert arrives. RFerreira 05:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• comment i added more information about masterbation with cucumbers which the articles clasifies as dendrofilic behavrior and a referance to 40 days and 40 nights and a spanish film where flowers are used to ahcieve orgasmQrc2006 22:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
