RFD discussion: September–October 2018[edit]

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

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


An area of law. The def given seems to be just the plural of tort, so it's a bit like somebody saying they study orchids or work in propellants; the singular should suffice to explain. Equinox 14:44, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • In law school, every student is required to take a course called "Torts", with a textbook titled "Torts" (or "Prosser of Torts" or "Farnsworth on Torts"). However, these same students are also required to take a course called "Contracts", and we don't have a sense for the area of law at contracts, because it is covered at contract. I disagree that this is plural only. The field can be referred to as "tort law". Therefore, delete this sense. bd2412 T 19:04, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
