Listing per DRV. Article was previously deleted as an apparent hoax, but that's not covered by CSD. Abstain. 1ne 23:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment User:1ne has insisted that his brief nomination remain. For the aid of commenters, here is my remark posted a minute later which gives the facts of the case:
This article was previously speedy deleted as an "apparent hoax". Technically, such a deletion is outside of the scope of the WP:CSDs. A (very sparse) DRV consensus overturned this deletion, holding that AfD should properly determine whether the article is a hoax, especially since sources are given. This matter is submitted to AfD for consideration. This is a procedural nomination, so I abstain. Xoloz 23:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have my doubts that koumpounophobia is an established term for button phobia, but the phenomenon itself seems to exist, per various news sources. (see talk page). I can't find any scientific sources though, so I'm not sure if news coverage alone makes this one encyclopedic. ~ trialsanderrors 23:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it is a dicdef, and WP:NOT a dictionary. Whether it's a hoax or not seems to be irrelevant. Angus McLellan(Talk) 09:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The actual dicdef is very simple and doesn't go into specifics like this encyclopedia article does. PowersT 14:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Unless we can source it the dicdef might have to go (and this article be moved to "button phobia"). ~ trialsanderrors 05:12, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not verifiable. That someone wrote that they feared buttons in cildhood is not an encyclopedic info. My granny was afraid of a TV set. So what thios would be in Greek? `'mikka(t) 21:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
anon user:192.18.42.10. Anyway, fear of belly buttons is omphalophobia, also deleted recently, so this is a misplaced vote :-) `'mikka(t) 02:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No such word in any disctionary or medical source. only internet. Mukadderat 16:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and send to Wictionary as it appears to be a real enough term, but has little likely potential for expansion beyond the current article, which is just a DicDef. Herostratus 18:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please allow me to respectfully disagree. Yes, in hits the google. But can you vouch that the word is not a joke? What's it etimology? Just like wikipedia, Wiktionary is not supposed to be a garbage collector. `'mikka(t) 20:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
