Keep. I saw a couple of usages where the term is used as part of a sentence rather than merely as part of a list. This usggests it has become part of everyday language. Also, I do not think a phobia necessarily needs a medical diagnosis in order to be considered encyclopedic, since Wikipedia is not a medical journal or anything of the sort.
