Talk:List of court cases involving the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association

Untitled

I have created this list page to clear up the main article BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) article, as I previously proposed to do on the talk page for the main BCCLA article AoJ.KM (talk) 01:34, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

• AoJ.KM If you want we can move this into your userspace so you can work on improving the page. You may want to look into giving a general overview of the cases they've been involved with rather than a list itself, as it would be easier to source and show notability for their overall court history. You could go over their most notable court cases, including those cases that have received quite a bit of coverage but may not qualify for an independent page for the court case. Generally speaking, we typically don't have list pages for court cases that a legal association, business, or person would be involved with, mostly because it's considered to be fairly routine.

• Shalor (Wiki Ed) Hi Shalor. Thank you for your note. My hope was to create something similar to List of court cases involving the American Civil Liberties Union. I don't think there's anywhere that the public can access a comprehensive list of cases the association has worked on (at least not free of charge). If the consensus is that it isn't useful for the general public / researchers to see the breadth of cases the association has worked on (that cannot be captured on the main article page), I'm open to having it moved to my userspace until I can figure out what to do with it.

• AoJ.KM Hmm... I'll drop a note at Wikipedia:WikiProject Law to see what they think about this. I wasn't aware that there were similar pages like this. I think that one of the main differences might be that the other group has a lot of court cases that are independently notable. It may likely be that the BCCLA's cases are similarly notable but just don't have articles yet. I figure that asking at the law WikiProject might help some, since the members of that project are more familiar with legal related articles. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 07:06, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

• One person has responded and said that it should be notable enough to be its own list, so that's heartening. Maybe adding news coverage of the cases to the article could help stave off any concerns of deletion if you move it back to the mainspace. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:57, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Moved back to mainspace

I have moved the article out of my userspace and back to the mainspace. This was discussed on Wiki Project Law's talk page. Please read the rationale for the article's creation and the discussion on Wiki Project Law before you consider flagging it for deletion. Thank you. AoJ.KM (talk) 00:57, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

I support restoration of the list article (a form of embedded list) for the reasons provided, particularly as it accords well with the ACLU list article. Having the case names in one list keeps the main article uncluttered and will also serve as a prompt for the creation of articles on those cases where there are none right now. (There is a great need to develop articles on Canadian cases on Wikipedia.) LexLife (talk) 00:14, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
