Rfv-sense: Adjective PoS. This doesn't seem to meet the customary tests for being an adjective vs a past participle. DCDuring TALK 23:14, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Move to rfd, not an adjective. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:15, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

It is an empirical question, not one that can be argued from principles. If it attestably meets tests for being an adjective, like those in Appendix:English adjectives, then the sense and PoS stays. I don't know of any legitimate way to short-circuit a factual question by voting (to which RfD has been reduced, pathetically), other that "widespread use", which I personally would object to.
