Category talk:Deceased

A Deceased category is unnecessary IMO
Instead of just removing the category from all the pages it's currently on just for them to be added again later, I'd like to give my case for why a Deceased category is unnecessary in my opinion:

It's not relevant enough to warrant its own category. What percent of the characters on this Wiki are currently deceased in their own franchise or at the end of their own books and movies? I'd wager under 50%, maybe around 40, but considering the number of combatant pages we have here, that's an effort that would be wasteful. Why go to the trouble of telling the person who went onto the page that the character they're looking at is deceased? Not only can this be unneeded spoilers for anyone unfamiliar with the character or franchise, but then there's the happenstance that said character ends up coming back from the dead. Then you'd have to remove the Deceased category that was just added... a category that doesn't need to be there to begin with.

So in my opinion, save the Deceased category for the Wiki's of those franchises where there's an actual validity to keeping tabs on everyone's currently status of living. But here, we don't need it because characters come and die and come back all the time. Nkstjoa (talk) 02:39, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
