"Famous"?

Obviously looking back with perfectly clear hindsight, would it not be better to call this decision "infamous", in the sense of "widely known but considered now to be erroneous"? 2600:1004:B174:9B94:0:35:109E:1A01 (talk) 20:05, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for starting the discussion. I think "infamous" is too loaded a word to qualify as NPOV; I'm not a fan of "famous" either; it may be more neutral, but truth be told, are law cases ever famous? What about taking "famous" out entirely: "Reference Re Persons of Japanese Race[1] is a decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, etc." That way, no comment at all about the quality of the decision. I think the "Aftermath" section could be expanded, to deal with the criticisms of the decision, both at the time and now, but I'm tied up a bit.
