I was going to title this after a category I take issue with, but seeing as how there are perhaps multiple more categories which could be argued as unnecessary out there, I've decided to title this as such so that discussions on multiple categories can commence if need be.

But one that I've found unneeded for some time has been Deceased. Here's my argument on why I think it unnecessary:

"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, adding that to around half of our combatant pages would be a wasteful effort. 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 in the ongoing storyline. But here, we don't need it because characters come and die and come back all the time."''
