[edit] Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

WP:OR or WP:NEO, either way, I gave up looking for genuine references for this word after the first 15 pages of Google hits. I don't think every "jocular" (i.e. something someone made up) definition deserves a unique page anyway. Earle Martin [t/c] 13:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. The properly spelled term (hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia) does exist, but this article is merely a dictdef. The word already has an entry on Wiktionary, so it should be simply deleted, unless someone can add encyclopedic material (which, judging by google search results, seems improbable).

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for spotting that. -- Earle Martin [t/c] 14:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, incorrectly spelled (I think) dicdef. PJM 13:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hippo-what? Shadow1 (talk) 14:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Srose and because Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The Wictionary entry on the word is very nice, so there is no need to transwiki. TheronJ 15:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Srose. *drew 15:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to -phob- to prevent anybody recreating it by accident, as a mispelling of hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia which is redirected to the same place, and because if anybody does type that all out they deserve an article at the very least. Yomanganitalk 16:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Yomangani. I do wish this was notable, the word is awesome!! Bakaman Bakatalk 19:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Crush with a hippopotamus! I mean, an elephant. Errr, seriously, redirect to -phob- per above. It's dicdef that doesn't warrant it's own article. Misza13 20:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Dicdef that already exists on wictionary. Resolute 04:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
