editThe previous page did not link to credible sources. This time there is a link to a scholarly journal article as well as several other sources. The term is commonly used amongst sufferers and is regularly discussed over the internet. Such a common issue is in dire need of a Wikipedia page.
- The journal article, however, does not contain the word koumpounophobia and doesn't specifically address fear of buttons as a common phenomenon. —Soap— 14:55, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Time to revive the article?editAn academic journal that I cannot access has done a study of a boy with koumpounophobia. That's literally all I know. But it is encouraging, and it means that the original rationale for why I redirected the article is no longer valid. Even so, I would like to be able to see what I'm linking to before I do anything based on it. —Soap— 03:26, 2 November 2019 (UTC) It's possible that the study is in fact the same as the original one, and that the term had not been coined yet, and that this new university textbook is using the word for the first time in an academic publication to describe the original study. —Soap— 04:39, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

so anyway.....
editI wish I could do more to help this article, but I just cant come up with anything. And it bothers me that koumpounophobia is specifically the fear of clothes buttons, which have very little in common with the tiny, closely packed keys that were in common use on cellphones in the mid-2000s. One must wonder, as well, if he also disliked the buttons on a landline telephone keypad, and if so, why not also the keycaps on a Macintosh keyboard? Unfortunately these are things we will never know. If I am mistaken, and koumpounophobia does in fact go beyond just the narrow clothes-fastening type of button, I would love to hear that, and that could help us put more information into this article as well. As it stands right now, though, the article is nearly self-contradictory. —Soap— 01:12, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
