[edit] Omphalophobia

del nonnotable joke neologism. No reputable references that "fear of belly buttons" exists. `'mikka (t) 06:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • BJAODN (it's up for speedy deletion under CSD A1). Made me laugh. MER-C 06:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete perhaps it's obtained some element of colloquial use, but Merriam-Webster and Dorland's Medical Dictionary do not list it -- Samir धर्म 07:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - no sources, no even on http://phobialist.com. --Daniel Olsen 07:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as neo, dicdef. Tychocat 10:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonnotable joke neologism, not funny enough for BJAODN. JIP | Talk 14:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Do not delete No such phobia, as it says in the article, but references to it appear across the internet and there should be an article pointing out the fact that it is NOT a phobia appearing in DSM-IV and is in fact, a made up word. Cypherzero0
    • The above appears to be using non-notability as proof of notability. JIP | Talk 16:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • "Across the internet" is a wild exaggerration: 58 unique google hits. I understand your concern, but wikipedia is a collection of things that are known (to someone trustable) or unknown but widely discussed (in reputable sources). Please read WP:NOT, WP:CITE, WP:V. `'mikka (t) 17:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
