I agree. Looking just randomly, e.g. "baby architect", "baby vegan", "baby Christian" all readily bring up hits of the "new", "young but not literally a baby" or "inexperienced" meaning. So delete and add the relevant sense at baby. Mihia (talk) 01:06, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Anyway, I added a sense for "A person who is new to or inexperienced in something", which I think we need irrespective of the outcome of this RFD. Mihia (talk) 20:41, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
The particular example that I added ("baby architect") is analogous to some of the senses RFD'd immediately below, so I think what we decide there will determine how we should treat it. Mihia (talk) 21:00, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Delete per nom; compare these, one of which is clearly adjectival ("very baby"):

Halloween is a misfit's high holy day, but I didn't comprehend the sacred aspects of Halloween until I'd celebrated it as a baby Goth, all of sixteen years old, in a gay neighborhood.

One of the first things I did, when I was a baby editor, was practice on tapes from Chet Baker Sings.

Of when I was a baby editor. Very baby, it was actually a kind of work experience, I was still at university but I knew what I wanted. With a small independent publisher, good reputation, did some marvellous books,
(I can't see the last book to see the sentence that comes before the quoted one, but I'm guessing it's something like "I had memories." or "I started to tell stories.") - -sche(discuss)18:17, 1 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm not certain one way or another about PoS, but regarding "very baby", note that we can also say e.g. "This is a London pub. Very London." or "He is a management person. Very management.", etc. Mihia (talk)
Perhaps we could also look at stress patterns. For example, "baby clothes", in the sense of "clothes for a baby", where hopefully we all agree "baby" is not an adjective, can hardly be said with the stress on "clothes" (unless "clothes" is being contrasted with something else previously mentioned, which is a separate special case). OTOH, "baby editor" can be said with more stress on "editor" than "baby". Mihia (talk) 21:19, 1 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Delete, but I don't think "person who is new to or inexperienced in something" covers this very well; "a person who is new to or inexperienced at being a dyke/lesbian" doesn't sound right to me. I also think "baby dyke"/"baby gay" are typically used for newcomers to the LGBTQ movement, rather than just anyone who has recently realised that xe is gay/lesbian or has recently come out of the closet (but for instance doesn't care about activism/representation). ←₰-→Lingo BingoDingo (talk) 11:01, 17 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
