Overblown Discussion

At the top of this page is the > decade-old notice:

So why is the article still here? Let alone the cataract of bilge dedicated to it? JohndanR (talk) 15:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted in 2009 following a deletion discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trypophobia). It was created again in 2012. 'Cataract of bilge' is quite a cool phrase, but you're going to have to unpack that a bit: what are you talking about? Girth Summit _(blether) 15:37, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd add that this was the state of the article at that time, and I'd agree that that should have been deleted. It was recreated a while later by someone actually trying to do a good job at it, and eventually the prior history was restored as well.

Possible removal of page image

I'm wondering if it's wise to have a page image for this. People with trypophobia may feel very uncomfortable seeing a visual representation of their phobia while researching it. That said, I do not have this phobia, so perhaps this isn't the best idea. DoctorDizzy (talk) 21:37, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
