Biographies only?
These categories are for people only, correct? i.e. not for murders in which a previous unknown died, and not for articles on incidents in which people died? I think that's pretty clear.

What, however, about articles like "Talk:Murder of Emily Sander"? It's not a biography, but it's the only article about her. Does it belong here or should the people categories go into a redirect from her name? I think the latter is best, as it maintains the integrity of these categories as people only.

I'm mostly concerned because I'm doing a bot run and I occasionally find articles like this. If they stay in the cat they'll get tagged with WPBiography. That said, if the cats get moved to a redirect which is my usual favoured choice they'll still get tagged as I follow redirects. --kingboyk (talk) 17:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
