Cruijffiaans

Dutch. Specifically, the adjective.

I don't speak Dutch, so I could easily be wrong, but this looks like the noun being used attributively. If it turns out to be the normal way Dutch works, I'll be happy to withdraw this if someone will provide the headword template for the adjective. Chuck Entz (talk) 18:53, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Not providing the template was a pretty amateurish error, I have to admit. I didn't study Dutch, but I think that nouns being used attributively isn't really a thing in Dutch. I'm not certain about that, though. Preupellor (talk) 19:01, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Anyway, now that the template is there, is it okay if I remove the request for deletion template? Preupellor (talk) 16:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep. This is actually the other way around, an adjective working as a proper noun. Cf. Nederlands, Engels, Duits etc. Thadh (talk) 16:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep. Dutch doesn’t use nouns attributively, it’s adjectives that are used nominally. MuDavid 栘𩿠 (talk) 01:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
