Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Floruit
We encourage the use of floruit|fl. in  , so it is part of the infrastructure iof Wikipedia. This means that we need the page to exist even if is was not otherwise justified, because it is part of the mechanics of Wikipedia now. We have incorporated the (somewhat musty and quaint) use of "fl." from older reference works, and it is quite useful, but many of our readers will encounter it here first and will not know what it means so the link is highly useful
