There is a noun form of primary. It means when a political party chooses its candidate for public office. For example, in 2004 Arlen Specter defeated Pat Toomey in the Republican primary in Pennsylvania for the party's US Senate candidate. Here are some sources with their definitions, "noun, plural primaries.U.S. Politics.Also called primary election. a preliminary election in which voters of each party nominate candidates for office, party officers, etc."source, dictionary.com [1]. "A preliminary election in which the registered voters of a political party nominate candidates for office."Source, the Free Dictionary, [2],"noun Primary is defined as a special election that is used to choose candidates from among a political party for a more major election."[3]. If more sources are need to prove primary can be a noun, more can be provided. This is also not the only noun definition of the word primary.PaulBustion87 (talk) 10:31, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Then please add it into the entry. I deleted the page because there is no noun type on primary, please add it there before creating derived words. --Hydriz (talk) 10:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
I did add it to the entry,[4]. I also added some other noun senses,[5].I will remember to add noun senses before creating plural derived words. I'm sorry if what I said came across as rude.PaulBustion87 (talk) 10:44, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
