infraction

This is a dictionary definition, and I don't see how it can be expanded to be more than this. Thryduulf 10:19, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Week keep, since it appears as a term of legal art in Bouvier's Law Dictionary. Gazpacho 14:06, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete - it's a dicdef of legal art. -- 8^D ^gab 22:18, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
- You probably never broke the law or have expensive lawyers, so that you can ignore this knowledge. Mikkalai 23:07, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless article is expanded. --Fuzzball! (talk) 01:56, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep You are going to have to delete all of the other legal definitions if you want to get rid of this one. The motivation for deletion here is political, so be honest about it.Mlorrey 05:02, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Not only is the nomination not political, I honestly don't understand how it could be. I landed on this page after following the random page link, saw it was nothing more than a dictionary definition. Following a quick google search nothing suggested to me any potential to expand it into an encyclopædia article and so I nominated it for deletion. I haven't read any of the other legal definition articles so I can't comment on them. Thryduulf 11:24, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Well, even now it is a bit more than a dicdef: the sentence about fine. Mikkalai 21:22, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wiktionary does not yet have this word. I don't see a way to expand it either but if some future editor does, they can easily recreate it. Transwiki. Rossami (talk) 22:12, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
keep. Expandable. E.g., an important addition would be difference in legislatures of different states. Mikkalai 02:53, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I have just transwikied this, see Wiktionary:Transwiki:Infraction; voters may amend their votes accordingly.--Dmcdevit 17:51, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
And I expanded and cleaned some nonsense a bit, just enough to show that the topic is far wider than a dicdef, voters may amend their votes accordingly once more. And there is still more to say, but by legal experts. Mikkalai 23:06, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, encyclopedic, at least now. Kappa 23:59, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
