The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


RFD-ing the adjective sense, which isn't even defined like an adjective. This is the noun used attributively. Yourdictionary has this: "anything generating widespread excitement: often used attributively: a blockbuster trade between baseball teams". Canonicalization (talk) 23:43, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, a noun modifier, not an adjective. DonnanZ (talk) 09:07, 18 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Delete. Not an adjective. Mihia (talk) 22:31, 18 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Delete. It doesn't meet standard tests for adjectives: predicate use, comparative/gradable use, modification by adverbs like too and very, not does it have a semantically distinct meaning when used attributively. DCDuring (talk) 02:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Delete. Per all above. Leasnam (talk) 02:40, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Not an adjective. Crap "definition". Deleted SemperBlotto (talk) 09:00, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
