Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Berberphobia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Berberphobia" is not an English word; it gets two Google hits. The content of this article - to the extent that it can be salvaged and NPOVed, which, given the translationese it's written in, will not be easy - would better be placed in Imazighen. - Mustafaa 20:16, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • If it's a real term then redirect to -phobia, if not then delete. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 21:00, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism. The guarantee about phobias is that there is zero obvious link between the name of the phobia and the phobia itself unless you are a Greek or Latin scholar. Denni 00:14, 2004 Jun 29 (UTC)
  • Delete: I know people with barberphobia, but that's another matter. (Beards...fear of beards.) Geogre 01:25, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Salvage and merge oppression of Berber minorities into Imazighen (see Mustafaa's argument above). The article's title is a literal translation of the (existing) French term "amazighophobie" (fear of Berbers). --Palapala 07:31, 2004 Jun 29 (UTC)
    • You see this is where European relations take a step towards the sublime. It is quite rational for the French (or the Spanish for that matter) to have a fear of the Berbers, but the only reason this word would be used in English would be to describe the French and Spanish fear of the Berbers! I think Denni hit the nail on the head calling it a neologism. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 12:18, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete neologism. -- Cyrius| 20:21, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
