Lawbreaker (disambiguation) → Lawbreaker – Lawbreaker is uncommonly used, so if someone searches for it, it would be for something specific. The target page, 'Lawbreaker' is set to redirect to crime, which is unspecific. Foia req (talk) 22:29, 19 June 2018 (UTC) --Foia req (talk) 22:28, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. Wikipedia is WP:NOTADICTIONARY. The terms lawbreaker, criminal or offender should not be WP:PRIMARYREDIRECTs to Crime when there may be films, TV series, plays, books or songs which use those terms as titles. Users who wish to research Crime, but type such other terms, will find the linked lead sentence, "A lawbreaker is someone that has committed a crime, also known as "breaking the law", sufficient for their need.

Support per nom. As I said elsewhere, not every mundane word must redirect to the broadest concept article it applies to, particularly when it's rarely used in reference to it. No such user (talk) 09:44, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I agree with nom's rationale. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
