Talk:Reference Re Persons of Japanese Race

"Famous"?
Obviously looking back with perfectly clear hindsight, would it not be better to call this decision "infamous", in the sense of "widely known but considered now to be erroneous"? 2600:1004:B174:9B94:0:35:109E:1A01 (talk) 20:05, 12 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for starting the discussion. I think "infamous" is too loaded a word to qualify as NPOV;  I'm not a fan of "famous" either;  it may be more neutral, but truth be told, are law cases ever famous?  What about taking "famous" out entirely:  "Reference Re Persons of Japanese Race[1] is a  decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, etc."  That way, no comment at all about the quality of the decision.  I think the "Aftermath" section could be expanded, to deal with the criticisms of the decision, both at the time and now, but I'm tied up a bit. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
