Rfd-sense

The "adjective" is nothing but attributive use of the noun. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:46, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

A noun modifier. Delete. The adjective is autumnal. DonnanZ (talk) 23:47, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Delete: it's not comparable or anything interesting. You also wouldn't say "these leaves are autumn". Usual adjective tests apply. Equinox ◑ 02:36, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Keep, because autumnal may be grammatically correct, but it is stilted and hyper-formal. The adjective entry serves to stop language learners from thinking autumnal is everyday English, and while it could be reduced to a usage note, a lot of people don't notice anything that far down the page. —Soap— 14:33, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Delete, not an adjective. PUC – 16:47, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
