The adjective and noun sections are not actually distinct from the verbal -ing form. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 18:55, 24 December 2009 (UTC) Keep, it meets our test for being an adjective, it's gradable. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:50, 25 December 2009 (UTC) - What was I thinking? or smoking? DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 15:57, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:30, 30 December 2009 (UTC) Delete, not a noun, none of the citations in the article use it as a noun AFAICT either. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:44, 25 December 2009 (UTC) Keep? The "amazing", as a noun, is simply an obscure "that which amazes (someone/thing)" or a collective "things which amaze (people)". Quite clearly fitting the use in the quotes. --HeWhoPonders 09:18, 11 June 2010 (UTC) - No. It's like "the poor", "the rich", "the aged", "the young". Not really a noun. Plus the definition we have says it's an action, not a set of things. Equinox ◑ 09:55, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
