Precocious

 * — (View AfD)

Somewhat checkered history for such a small article. Was created by User:Precociousone with a C&P from a dictionary,then tagged for speedy as a copyvio. The original editor then rewrote it, removing the copyvio, and I prodded it, as a dicdef. User:86.134.221.85 then blanked the page (removing the prod)& rewrote it again. None of these rewrites have substantially addressed the real matter here, which is that this is a dictionary definition and can never grow beyond that. The same editor has also created Contumely and removed the speedy tag under similar circumstances. Dina 19:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:WINAD. Precociousness would be a better article title, and the article could talk about the prevalence of precociousness, its effects and causes, etc. And once you conjure what the article could contain, it seems intuitive from the term's relative broadness that this does not belong to an encyclopaedia. &mdash;Goh wz 16:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
