ill + manners -- Pedrianaplant (talk) 12:37, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- By what definition of ill? DCDuring TALK 16:21, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Sense 4, which even has ill manners as an example. -- Pedrianaplant (talk) 16:22, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Indeed. Sense 4 looks like more than one definition to me. Of the ones offered "not up to reasonable standard" might fit. (MWOnline has "not meeting an accepted standard", with ill manners as its usage example.) What other nouns form an NP with that definition of ill? I can't think of any right now. Not that there aren't any. DCDuring TALK 16:40, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

- Ill prospects, ill health, an ill season... Equinox ◑ 19:29, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Perhaps we should mark the adjective sense as dated, btw? Equinox ◑ 19:29, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- ill health - def. 5. ("Unwell in terms of health or physical condition; sick.")
- ill prospects, ill season - def. 4.1 ("Unpropitious").
- I guess the definitions in sense 4 just aren't part of my idiolect, except possibly in ill-mannered. DCDuring TALK 20:03, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. It wouldn’t hurt to redirect the page to that sense of ill, though. — Ungoliant (falai) 17:29, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
