UK, legal. Entered as an adjective. It should go without saying that this is not an adjective, but rather a part of the passive of the possibly idiomatic "call someone to the bar", to which this should be moved. If we are sure this is non-idiomatic, we could take this directly to RfD. DCDuring TALK 00:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- I have created an entry that contains call to the bar#Noun and call to the bar#Verb. It is not limited to the UK, contrary to our entry. DCDuring TALK 03:44, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Adjective section. I see no evidence that this is an adjective, rather than a form of call to the bar#Verb. DCDuring TALK 04:10, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. One would not say that someone is "a called-to-the-bar lawyer". bd2412 T 19:02, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
- Keep if our definitions are correct (verb: "To admit (someone) to practice in the courts", with no particular court specified; adjective: "licensed to argue cases in a superior court" specifically), which I doubt; otherwise, delete.—msh210℠ (talk) 16:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't really object to an rfv, but essentially, yeah, delete. Redundant to the verb form. --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. DAVilla 15:30, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
