Histominaphobia

The result was Delete. Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:33, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zero sources, zero Google hits, very likely a hoax. Sandstein 22:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but knowing nothing about the area I've left a note at WikiProject Medicine, who will probably know. Eve Hall (talk) 22:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, zero hits in Google Scholar or on PubMed and nothing I've ever heard of. Tim Vickers (talk) 22:42, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Maybe it is a real phobia, but I don't know the ancient terminology of the world 'allergy' so I can't figure it out. The point is, you can create a page about every phobia if you just place the latin/greek whatever it is infront of the world 'phobia'. No hits on Google and PubMed to me means this is not notable. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 23:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Needs ref therefore delete. --Doc James (talk) 23:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It seems like a hoax. Linguistically it should mean a fear of histamine, perhaps of histamine's role in the allergic response, but a fear of allergies would be more likely be a fear of the symptoms that come with it, not of histamine per se.

Delete, unverifiable. I would imagine allergophobia to be a more likely name for this (if it exists, and it may very well), as the word "allergy" is of Greek roots. Even a fear of histamine would have to be histaminophobia, not histominaphobia. Whatever happened to the creative hoaxes, the ones where folks really did their homework? :D Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Snowball fight anyone? Tavix (talk) 23:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
