From VfD:
[edit]Dic def, non-notable and/or neologism. One of three dic defs recently contributed by an anon. OK, so given knowledge of latin roots and whatnot, people can create "valid" words. However, m-w.com doesn't consider it a word, nor does my dead tree dic. Gets less than 3000 hits. Only one of the three that might be a Wiktionary candidate, but I'm not sure it should be sent there, as it doesn't even seem particularly accurate: m-w.com def of "-phobia" is "an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation"--no mention of prejudice.

- For what's it's worth, I remember Britsh gay-rights campaigner Peter Tatchell using it in the context of describing the UK's new laws on same-sex couples that give cerain rights to homosexual couples but not the same rights to unmarried heterosexual couples. Dunc_Harris|☺ 16:22, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Transwiki to Wiktionary. Unlike homophobic, this word does not have the long tradition of controversy and social discussion to justify an encyclopedia article. If it ever does become a sweeping social topic, the article can be easily restarted from the definition. Rossami 22:14, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- If kept, redirect to heterophobia as Sean Curtin suggests below to keep it consistent. Looking at both articles, though, they still seem to be discussions about the words not the concept. Should "heterophobia" also go to Wiktionary? Rossami
Transwiki to Wiktionary.Redirect to heterophobia. It's not a neologism (even though it hasn't made it into the major dictionaries yet), been around a while, but not a notable enough phenomenon to be anything more than a dicdef.

- To heterophobia, an article that already existed when heterophobic was created. -Sean Curtin 01:19, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

- Move relevant content to Feminism (the root of this jargon word) and redirect there to prevent re-emergence. The anti-gay issue mentioned above is merely an unrelated neologist anti-gay strawman argument akin to "all crimes are hate crimes" used by some politicians in the U.S. Davodd 11:28, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
If it is to be redirected, it would be better to homophobia, and mention it is a sentence there. I fail to see what it has to do with feminism, apart from general association with leftist politics. Dunc_Harris|☺ 13:02, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC). Redirect to heterophobia. Dunc_Harris|☺ 13:33, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
