Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hoplophobia
It should be deleted and added to the entry for Jeff Cooper. This is just a stub. It is not a medical condition or mental illness, as described on this page. It is covered in as much useful detail in Wiktionary, and repeating essentially the same information in Wikipedia is redundant and a waste of resources. It is a politically-charged term, and the entry is subject to vandalism for political purposes. It was originally intended for use as a political smear to label people in favour of gun control as being "mentally ill," or, as Cooper has stated himself, to anger proponents of gun control. It is only notable within the context of the gun culture in the United States; for the other 95% of the world it is not notable. References to its use in this discussion point to gun magazines, gun owner websites, or gun aficionado books. The majority of these references refer right back to Jeff Cooper. Wikipedia should not be used as a vehicle for legitimizing a particular point of view. Moving "hoplophobia" to the Jeff Cooper page will put the term in its correct context, and healthy discussion and debate can resume in that context
