The result of the debate was No Consensus. However, between delete and merge, I see it best to merge and add Arachibutyrophobia to the Phobia list.Voice of All @|Esperanza|E M 02:59, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

- '
Weak Transwiki' to Wiktionary.Whether the word is an "acceptable" name for a phobia or not (and I note Triskaidekaphobia has a perfectly respectable article) this is no more than a dicdef with a picture of some peanut butter.

Also wikipedia is not a dictionary. These phobias even do not grade for a technical slang, which would warrant a glossary, like Glossary of ballet terms. mikka (t) 01:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
