[edit] Necrozoophilia

This article purports to be about a psychological condition, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the term is actually used anywhere except possibly as a joke or hoax. A Google search shows 500 hits ... largely Wikipedia mirrors and bootlegs. I think this article is a hoax. FOo 05:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, I don't think a fetishism of dead animals is particularly common to merit its own article. — JIP | Talk 09:28, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect merge anything worthy, and redirect to Necrobestiality with note on Necrobestiality about Necrozoophilia, which will require removing the darn redirect which currently exists from Necrobestiality to Necrozoophilia. No one said this would be simple, sigh. I agree its rare, and its icky, but it's real, and definately not a neologism. This term itself is not well documented on the 'net, but there is Paraphalia on MedicalGeo , Paraphilia on AnxietyZone, as well as about a thousand on the more common term Necrobestiality (which should lay to rest your concerns about the reality of the practice itself.) Its sex with dead animals, which is not something that hard to comprehend when you know about necrophilia, sex with dead people, and bestiality, sex with live animals. This is precisely the kind of thing that makes WikiPedia such a valuable resource - what if someone really wanted to know about this, and we'd deleted it because we were hasty or lazy and didn't research it before relegating it incorrectly to "hoax" or "neologism" status?

[1] (Section 5) and Psychcentral and Google for "Necrobestiality paraphilia". This is not a neologism. necrozoophilia is one of four paraphilias considered common to seriel killers, and it is noteable. KillerChihuahua 11:14, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
