The usual few hits on lists of supposed phobias, plus a bunch of hyphenated fragments. In other words, no RS. Mangoe (talk) 02:03, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is just a dictionary definition with nothing more, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:59, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Reidrect to Toxiphobia ("Toxiphobia (less commonly known as iophobia[1])") or List of phobias (although yuck to the precedent of throwing things into that list based just on their existence in a dictionary) - per WP:DICDEF, WP:MEDRS, etc. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:27, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of phobias; the usual thing done with attested dicdef phobias. - HyperGaruda (talk) 07:33, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to List of phobias per HyperGaruda. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:35, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Merge. List of phobias is a list of notable phobias. If this isn't notable, it shouldn't listed there. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of phobias, probably unsutable to serve as an article by itself Inter&anthro (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
