Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Androphobia (4th nomination)
One of the problems with phobias is that it's possible to snowclone an absolutely limitless number of words for new phobias, simply by attaching a Latin or Greek prefix to -phobia, to define an irrational fear of absolutely ''anything'' that ''exists''. So to make this a notable concept that would warrant an encyclopedia article, what would be needed is not mere dictionary definitions, which is all that's present for referencing here — we would need actual ''substance'' to suggest that this term actually has real-world ''context'', such as sources which ''discuss'' it in depth as a ''concept'' and analyze actual ''examples'' of the purported phobia in ''action''. Boilerplate |dictionary definitions of what it technically means as a ''term'' aren't enough to merit an encyclopedia article by themselves, if we can't show any ''substance'' beyond that
