[edit] Taphephobia

del dicdef. no references. Could not find any reputable myself. Only various phobia and trivia lists. `'mikkanarxi 07:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• I was convinced to withdraw the nom. However I'd like to suggest to rename in it into Fear of being buried alive. `'mikkanarxi 23:08, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment [1] and [2] (the latter site doesn't look professional, but I think it is). -Patstuart<sup>(talk)(contribs)</sup> 07:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Both references are absolutely not reliable sources. For starters, no authors or medical references. `'mikkanarxi 08:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Patstuart, real condition. Wiktionary has an article on it, see wikt:taphephobia. MER-C 07:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Dont make me laugh. wiktionary is even worse source than wikipedia. It is a junkyard. `'mikkanarxi 08:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Advice. Before voting, please take a look into -phob-#Phobia lists. `'mikkanarxi 08:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per [3], [4], and slightly [5]. However, just for a lol source, check out [6]. Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 09:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • dicdefs. As for your last ref, did you follow my advice above? `'mikkanarxi 22:41, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. There are reputable potential sources for this article besides dictionaries. See this search on Google Books. -- Alan McBeth 22:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Nope. `'mikkanarxi 22:41, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Try When We Die: The Science, Culture, and Rituals of Death by Cedric A. Mims and Miracles and Pilgrims: Popular Beliefs in Medieval England by Ronald C Finucane. -- Alan McBeth 23:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
      • Oops, my bad. Yes, now I am stating to remember things. Still, the word feels like a neologism. At these medieval times I don't think the term "phobia" was in use. Anyway, I am withdrawing my nomination. `'mikkanarxi 23:08, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as reliable. I don't think it needs to be moved, either (although it's probably worth having a redirect at Fear of being buried alive). The part about references in films seems a bit odd to me, though. Maybe it would be better if changed to a general section about references in literature and pop culture?
