Arophobia?
[edit]I mean, Acephobia is here. Why not Arophobia, the fear/dislike of Aromantic people? Admittedly, I'm not familiar enough with the standards on here to know if I need to prove that it exists or something, but, anecdotally, I can confirm that it exists.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me could do whatever is necessary. I'm just making the suggestion.

Kenophobia
[edit]Kenophobia, the fear of empty spaces (like big warehouses or such). A page for this fear already (sorta) exists, under the term “horror vacui”, which is mainly used to refer to the art style.
I feel like this would be an appropriate addition to this list, especially compared to the only other “K” phobia (the fear of buttons). 72.177.104.148 (talk) 03:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Correct spelling from “triakaidekaphobia” to “triskaidekaphobia” wherever it occurs. 73.153.162.212 (talk) 04:24, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done: The only occurrence appears to be in the lead, and that's in a quote in which the cited source does write triakaidekaphobia. Cannolis (talk) 04:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
