Talk:bathmophobia

bathmophobia
Fear of stairs/slopes. Only in word lists. The WP article only cites a word list. Equinox ◑ 21:14, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Cited. Most phobias are just barely citable. It can seem like they're not because finding cites requires combing through pages and pages of wordlists in the Google Books results. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 22:10, 9 January 2015 (UTC)


 * It is my position that the likes of "bathmophobia (fear of stairs)" and "bathmophobia, which is a fear of stairs or steep slopes" should not count for attestation. Or they should count to show the meaning, but should not count to the list of quotations in which the word is pressed to do a semantic job on its own. However, there is no consensus for this position, AFAIK; WT:CFI supports 'They raised the jib (a small sail forward of the mainsail) in order to get the most out of the light wind' as fine, which I don't. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:13, 10 January 2015 (UTC)


 * RFV passed: the citations meet the requirements in WT:CFI. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:25, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
