Another supposed phobia with no clinical sources. There are a couple of hits as a social phenomenon but even those basically boil down to a DICTDEF. Mangoe (talk) 00:52, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete One of the refs is written by a self-admitted, persecuted Wiccan. The other ones simply demonstrate use of the word. Just because a word has been used doesn't mean it needs a WP article. I suspect this is political and not a "genuine" phobia in psychiatric terms. Famous _dog (c) 10:27, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
