[edit] Tropophobia

del. Nonnotable dicdef. "fear of moving or making changes". The rest is a psychobabble from a definition of a specific phobia. No reputable references besides lists of varuios phobias that swarm internet lately and inscrupulous psych websites which offer to treat you from prostitute phobia for only 1,275, see -phob-#Phobia lists. `'mikka (t) 17:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The symptoms listed are the symptoms of any phobic reaction, and Wikipedia isn't a dictionary. The Greek seems legit, but that doesn't make it a real psychological condition. (Unless the way I felt after graduating university qualifies as tropophobia.) -- Merope 18:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep, but it should be turned into an article the manner of arachnophobia. It is a realy condition, checks on on psychology databases, but it needs more meat to it. CaveatLector^Talk 17:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, just a dicdef. Someone can always make a real article later. Gazpacho 17:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
