[edit] Coulrophilia
9 word orphaned article. Google returns 876 hits most of which are from Wikipedia and mirros of it and from unserious personal web sites. Delete per Wikipedia is not an endless list of every fact and oddity. Contested Prod. MartinDK 17:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Could be a case for merge and redirect as proposed in the deprod or a transwiki, but I have neither time nor interest in fetish research. Even if it's a neologism, it has a lot of documented interest (or perhaps more properly, interest in documenting), given the presumed rarity of the fetish. Unfocused 18:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I would agree if I was able to find a reliable source for this. If anyone is able to find a reliable source describing this as other than a fictional fetish and assert its notability then fine. MartinDK 18:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I am pretty sure that this word just means a fear of clowns. In any case it should be moved to wikictionary. meshach 23:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)- Actually, you're thinking of Coulrophobia. -phil- would be more to love or obsession. Coulrophobia is a much more well defined and sourced article, (note that I'm not saying much by that,) and while Coulrophilia would be a logical antonym, there is no known documentation of it. Submitter can come back when there is more than nine words to say on the subject. --RoninBKETC 06:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC) And quit clowning, yo!

- Delete Don't transwiki. Non-notable, unverifiable protologism Bwithh 06:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Clowns, eh? Still less creepy than my initial assumption, which was a neologism dealing with sexual attraction to Ann Coulter. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
