This article has been previously deleted. See previous discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthophobia. Most articles on specific phobias are junk. There are lots of websites like "fear of" that consist of many, many autogenerated pages of content on various supposed phobias, copied back and forth between websites. Most of these phobias are not recognized medical conditions and lack suitable medical reliable sources.--Srleffler (talk) 05:59, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From List of phobias:

Many -phobia lists circulate on the Internet, with words collected from indiscriminate sources, often copying each other. Also, a number of psychiatric websites exist that at the first glance cover a huge number of phobias, but in fact use a standard text to fit any phobia and reuse it for all unusual phobias by merely changing the name. ... Such practice is known as content spamming and is used to attract search engines.
