Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Floruit
Wikipedia policies do not preclude articles on words. From : "In some cases, a word or phrase itself may be an encyclopedic subject, such as Macedonia (terminology) or truthiness". This is one of those cases. Since 2006 MOS:DOB has indicated that "When the individual is known to have been alive (flourishing) at certain dates, floruit|fl. is used in articles to link to floruit, in case the meaning is not familiar..." As such there are literally ''thousands'' of incoming links. Additionally there is the precedent of the hundreds of other Latin words, and English words of Latin origin, in :Category:Latin words and phrases. Deleting this would be extraordinarily unproductive
