The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
English adjective: "Of or pertaining to the executive of a particular nation or state." It's just "first" capitalised by its context. Compare the deletion of "New" (Talk:New). Equinox ◑ 01:56, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- So far as I can tell, "First" isn't even a surname. bd2412 T 23:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- No one said it was. It looks like this is an attempt to capture the "first" in First Lady, and all of the other titles based on it. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:03, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- My point is that there's nothing for which to even save the namespace. Delete as proposed. bd2412 T 13:16, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Just for the record, I'm going to have to go with with the 'Deletes. It's sort of like a snowclone: anything or anyone associated with the US president's family can be (often humorously) designated "First X". Whatever it is, it's SOP
- It's not SOP, just wrong in the given sense. DonnanZ (talk) 16:58, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

- As Equinox suggests the def is wrong anyway. It's just a capitalisation of first when used in names and titles. For example, a Presbyterian church in my home town is named "First Church". Delete. DonnanZ (talk) 10:28, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

- First is certainly a surname, albeit an uncommon one; (book with "First" author, WikiTree with lots of Firsts). The other arguments seem right to me. Keep surname. - TheDaveRoss 14:14, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- There is currently no surname sense in the entry to be kept. You can add one. bd2412 T 15:39, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
