This seems to be a modification of a listing in [[Wikipedia:The original bad jokes and other deleted nonsense|BJAODN]]. There's some discussion on the talk page about the notability of this article, but it doesn't look like it's ever gone through VFD since being created in 2002. At any rate, an article about a non-notable joke at best, and a joke itself at worst. - [[User:RedWordSmith|RedWordSmith]] 18:03, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:The Aibohphobia article was created on 6th November 2002. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Aibohphobia&action=history] The BJAODN entry was added on 18th December 2002.

* It gets multiple hits in google so I'm inclined to believe that it's a real word though it may be a neologism. Content is a mere definition and theory of origin. [[Transwiki]] to Wiktionary. [[User:Rossami|Rossami]] 23:03, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
* In the [[Talk:Aibohphobia|article's talk page]] it has been agreed that it can be kept as long as it is made obvious that it is a joke. Anyway, I believe this article can be <b>kept</b>. -- [[User:Mike Rosoft|Mike Rosoft]] 23:42, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep it'''. It mentions its (dubious) roots in comic-strip. How do you think phobias get invented people? It also mentions robotic dogs (which '''are''' evil and should be anhilated at any given opportunity).--[[User:ZayZayEM|ZZ]] 07:36, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep it'''. Mentions its humouristic nature, and seems to have indeed existed before the Wikipedia article (so not a BJAODN). [[User:Rama|Rama]] 16:46, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Not notable. Hits are wikipedia mirrors and mailing list archives. A modest success as a transitory joke. -- [[User:WOT|WOT]] 20:49, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*:I have seen this term several times outside of the webspace(in non-humour, and pseudo-humour, almost never in full-on humour settings). Wikipedia should not merely be relegated to what gets hits on google (it should ''make'' hits on google).--[[User:ZayZayEM|ZayZayEM]] 01:42, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*Another lost VfD. '''Weak keep'''. [[User:Cool Hand Luke|Cool Hand]] [[User talk:Cool Hand Luke|<font color="purple">Luke</font>]] 04:48, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*Interesting enough, but the standard practice for dealing with phobias ius to redirect them to [[-phobia]], so I say '''merge and redirect''' -- [[User:Francs2000|Graham ☺]] | [[User talk:Francs2000|Talk]] 08:25, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. [[User:Radman1|[[en:RaD Man|'''RaD Man''']] ([[User_talk:Radman1|''talk'']])]] 16:35, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*Delete: It ''was'' on VfD, and I believe it got a majority but not conclusive delete vote. The majority feeling, as I recall it, was that it was a joke that had grown famous and that such was not sufficient to make it encyclopedia worthy. I did not vote at that time, I believe. However, due to process, I will this time, although it looks like it will be kept. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 18:21, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*:It has been continuously on VfD since 27th August; it received the first vote (Wiktionary) on 2nd September; second vote (mine, keep) on 21st September; next one on 10th October. It is just a forgotten VfD discussion. - [[User:Mike Rosoft|Mike Rosoft]] 10:34, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete.''' Recreation of previously deleted content...that swhould make it a speedy, right? [[User:Gwalla|<nowiki></nowiki>]] — [[User:Gwalla|Gwalla]] | [[User talk:Gwalla|Talk]] 23:02, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*:As far as I know, this article was never deleted. - [[User:Mike Rosoft|Mike Rosoft]] 10:31, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*:You'll find it on the Bad Jokes and other deleted nonsense page. '''delete'''--[[User:Wonderfool|Wonderfool]] 11:49, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
