[edit] Venustraphobia

del. No evidence of notability. Also, the name looks like a hoax. What the heck is this "tra" inside? Before you jump in and tell me that it has lonts of google hits, let me say that none of them are reputable. They are blogs, dicdef entries or pages from unscrupulous websites that peddle the same magic cure for all phobias whose names they download from various lists of (pseudo)phobias. My favorite example is an instant cure for Russophobia I quoted in the -phobia article. mikka (t) 22:18, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Relisting from Sept 8th in hope of enough participation to reach a reliable decision. -Splash^talk 20:09, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment- while I know people this happens to, I'm not convinced this is the proper name for it, so should be a redirect page. --MacRusgail 20:55, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: The phobia, from what I understand, is legitimate, but I'm unsure that this is an accepted name. Anyway, it's only one of a huge number of phobias. If this article could be expanded into something meaningful or unique, I'd agree with keeping it, but I doubt there's really anything to say beyond what's already there. the current listing in the List of phobias article should be sufficient since the symptoms of this phobia are unsubstantially different from others. — Cory Maylett 21:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
