RFD discussion: June 2024

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


RFD sense: (under New Hampshire law) The crime of (while over 18) knowingly causing the death [] .

As a state-specific definition that does not go outside of the general meaning of capital murder, I believe this is duplicated with the entry's sense 2.

If this sense is kept, should we also add the remaining 8 (U.S. states that explicitly uses the term "capital murder") or 27 (U.S. states that reserves capital punishment for such kind of murders) state definitions to the entry?廣九直通車 (talk) 04:42, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've deleted it / merged it into sense 2; at the time it was added (by me) people were arguing for having every (time period of every) jurisdiction's legal definition of each thing as a separate sense; I then removed most such things when the prevailing viewpointed shifted to not including every such thing, but evidently I missed this one. (I'll peruse other murder terms to see if I missed any others.) - -sche (discuss) 17:23, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
