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? GirthSummit (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.
