Talk:Judicial system of Finland

Good article status?
Romans, friends and countrymen,

What do you think? Does this article qualify for good article status? I think what we should do is to add actual references to the valid points of law. At present, the article is factually correct but does not cite anything. We should thus add the references. After that, I think we should be able to get this article a good or favoured article status. --MPorciusCato 12:46, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose ambiguous naming judiciary means the body of judges. While "judicial system" clearly refers to the judicial system and not the body of judges -- 70.51.46.195 (talk) 12:04, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Support: its actually a rather logical move. "Judiciary" means the entire system, not just judges. Its more succinct and can be made uniform across other nation's judiciary pages. DaltonCastle (talk) 23:06, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment – When submitting a batch of similar move requests, these should be handled as a single multi-page move discussion rather than asking the community to conduct several very similar separate discussions. Instructions can be found at WP:RM for how to do this. If not too late, it would be nice to convert the request to that format before continuing. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose as ambiguous, and as an attempt to force American English usage of the word "judiciary" onto the relevant articles. RGloucester  — ☎ 15:45, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. It is not ambiguous, this is simply a more WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENT (with other countries) way of saying the same thing. And where's the evidence that "judiciary" is an American term? The BBC uses it often enough. Thanks &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 09:30, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Amakuru, this is exactly where the trouble comes in. Take a look at some of the articles you brought up. Look, for example, at this one, the first in the list. It says "Barrister and part-time judge Constance Briscoe, who was jailed for 16 months for lying to police, has been removed from the judiciary". In Commonwealth usage, "judiciary" usually refers to the body of judges, not to the judicial system. In this particular case, for example, that's what's meant. "Removed from the judiciary" means that the judge was stripped of her post as a judge. This usage does not really exist in American English, which is why it is somewhat of an ENGVAR issue, and also why said ambiguity exists. RGloucester  — ☎ 14:52, 2 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose. A judiciary is a body of judges or the courts they operate, not an entire justice system; at least in American legal circles, the term "judiciary" would never include attorneys, prosecutors, or corrections officials. The current title is correct. Rebb  ing  04:55, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
