Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precising definition

Confusing and short, it's been sitting in cleanup for three months. If you understand it, expand it. :-) If not, let's get rid of it. Jwrosenzweig 23:15, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Delete or move. Precise is not a verb in English. It is so used only by French-speaking people whose English is in that regard deficient, and perhaps some others who do not speak English natively. Michael Hardy 00:01, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Actually, I've encountered "precising definition" used in a course on logic in this sense: Types of Definition; it does belong with the other types of definitions listed in the definition article. I've made a stubby attempt to rewrite it to match the term as I've seen it used: I am not familiar with it in some of the contexts the previous author had in mind, or at least, I don't think I am, but can't tell from the way it was written.

 * Come to think of it, would this and all the other types of definitions be better merged with the main definition entry? Most linked from it don't even have articles yet, though one (operational definition) is fairly lengthy. Mindspillage 03:19, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
