It was probably for usage like イギリス出身の男性, but I don't think that makes it adj-no. 男性 is being modified by イギリス出身, not 出身 by itself.

I'm not seeing what good adj-no does here and I can't figure out what adjective is intended. if it's just 
"relating to a person's origin" then that's the same as the possessive "of"

Probably not, but since it's there I have a selfish and pragmatic reason for keeping it.

If it's deleted I'll need to track down and amend the indexing of all those sentences. I'd rather not do it.

I'd agree with removing the ksb-tag.

None of my references mention that, and "I've been told" is not enough to change the entry. I'll leave this for Rene to see, as he did the original entry.

Hi, I've been told that this is general "old men's language" and not specifically Kansai region.
