The OED has both good-natured and ill-natured, a., but I'm unconvinced that they aren't SoP (being good or ill + natured, adj. ("Having a nature or disposition (of a specified kind)."). What do others think? — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 13:59, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'd hesitantly say keep because it's rather strongly idiomatic, and it only refers to people (or their behaviour). The nature of food could be good (I suppose?), but you'd never talk about good-natured food. Update: (deprecated template usage) goodnatured means it passes per WT:COALMINE, right?

- Well, it's a single word so keep. Ƿidsiþ 12:55, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
