I don't see anything adjectival about this; I see attributive uses of proper noun Nobel. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:20, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Delete. Can't say "that prize was Nobel" etc. Covered by existing noun. Equinox 08:31, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Delete. I have reservations about the noun too. DonnanZ (talk) 21:59, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Comment. Plenty of results for “received the Nobel” as short for “received the Nobel Prize”.  --Lambiam 16:42, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Delete. It is outrageously laughable that Nobel Prize is listed as a derived term of this supposed adjective.  --Lambiam 16:42, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

 Done. They need to go somewhere. DonnanZ (talk) 12:07, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Delete. It is not an adjective. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 16:52, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
