RFV discussion: January–August 2015[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Google Books doesn't seem to have enough citations for any single sense. There is the biological "barophobic" (not adapted to high pressures). Equinox 21:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Found a third cite for the fear sense. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 23:28, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What about fear of bars? Renard Migrant (talk) 23:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Did you hear the one about a man who didn't walk into a bar? -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 01:39, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted the biology sense (RFV-failed). The other sense has two good citations, but the "afraid of gravity (barophobia)" is mention-y, IMO. Should it still count? Can any more citations be found? - -sche (discuss) 06:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Meh, RFV-failed on the basis that the third citation is a mention. - -sche (discuss) 02:05, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
