public record

Rfd adjective sense: "Being a matter of public record; being in the public record." I suppose it's been added to accommodate a sentence such as "What I have done is public record", but isn't it still a noun there? Canonicalization (talk) 12:11, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Delete or merge, it ain't an adjective. DonnanZ (talk) 10:43, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Delete. Just like “what I have done will become history”, this is a use of the (uncountable) noun. BTW, I’m not sure that the noun is usually uncountable; Public Record laws typically define what is and what is not a public record, and describe how requests for a copy of a public record should be handled.  --Lambiam 10:53, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Delete, wrong POS, even when used attributively this would still be a noun (phrase) — which aren't kept anyway. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 11:23, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
