If we allow this set of articles, then why not have others covering every other aspect of Californian criminal law? And for the other 49 states. And federally? And then for every other jurisdiction in the world?
Yes, why not? Seriously? Much more useful than yet another article on a minor Pokémon character.
My feeling is that the information is encyclopaedic, but would be better placed elsewhere.
Well yes. But I couldn't think where, either.
We should aspire to become an encyclopedia of law. Seriously, the great thing about Wikipedia is that Wikipedia can be more than a general encyclopedia. Wikipedia can replace specialized enyclopedias like encyclopedias of philosophy and encyclopedias of law (if the latter even exist yet).
