User talk:Rhododendrites/List of unusual laws

Starting the list
I commented at the AfDs for Unusual laws and Dumb laws that a more appropriate idea might be a list of unusual laws. So I created it in the drafts namespace and added the first couple examples I saw just to get it started. It'll need a lot of work before moving to the main article space and I'd like feedback about the best way to limit its scope and ensure proper sourcing.

I think at minimum every entry should have at least one or two sources for it being talked about as unusual and a citation for the law itself to show it's not just an urban myth. What needs discussion is what's considered a reliable source for calling a law unusual. I'm not going to argue that those I added at the start of this page are so-so -- they were just the first that I saw cited on one of the other pages (e.g. "Complex") -- but better sourcing is out there.

As for geographic scope, I think it makes sense not to limit it geographically at first and then break it up if/when the list becomes too long. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 21:59, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
