Separate article for thanatophobia

Should there be a separate article for thanatophobia and necrophobia because they are different things, i'm going to expand this article to have two sections first, then perhaps split it later into two separate articles?

You may expand only basing on wikipedia rules: WP:Attribution, no original essays and citing reputable sources. `'Miikka 04:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I had always thought Thantophobia was fear of death and dying while Necrophobia was fear of dead things - antithesis of necrophilia.217.205.224.155 (talk) 12:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pop Culture Section could mention episode of Aeon Flux titled Thanatophobia, and if I knew more about editing/citing I might have even done it. 71.106.25.211 00:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. `'Miikka 04:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Homophobia

Isn't there a homophobia? I am not making a joke. Hyper Zergling (talk) 04:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for digging that up. I can only imagine the arduous research that went into trying to finding that. Tisane ^talk/_stalk 03:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Healthy" fear of death?

Isn't there such things as a "healthy" fear of death? Or does almost everyone have necrophobia/thanatophobia/whatever? Tisane ^talk/_stalk 03:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added more information to the article. All of it came from a reference already included. Feel free to clean it up a bit. To put it simply, though, just about everyone fears death, but this phobia is an abnormal fear of death or dying—a fear intense enough to interfere with one's daily life. Most people don't have that problem. TaintedMustard (talk) 13:40, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Psy 101 Review

I think the information you added could have been a little more thorough here, instead of saying "With all types of emotions..." maybe be a little more clear, but other than that the information you added was good. Mp176418 (talk) 18:15, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Information was alright, seemed like it was somewhat of an opinion. though you did mention two treatments for this.

Unpublished thesis & introduction claim

The work by Anastasia Tsaliki may have some validity but she didn't introduce the term in any sense. It has been around a long time.

The PhD thesis is unpublished, but it comes from a top University and there is published work cited. The term has been around in MEDICINE but she is the one who introduced it in social sciences. Credit should go where credit is due. Show me references that use the term "necrophobia" in a cultural context before she published her ideas in 1997 and I will accept your claim. So, I believe that there is good scientific ground for the re-addition of the part you deleted.

I also argue that there should be a differentiation between "necrophobia" as a medical term and as a cultural term, which you keep deleting.
