 * I disagree. There is a definite consensus to delete the category and move the contents to category:Suicides.  -Kbdank71 18:55, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete and merge into Category:Suicides: Unpractical name, unneeded subcategorization. -- User:Docu
 * Delete. Unnecessary.  Postdlf 16:18, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Change name to Category:Writers who committed suicide. Still a relative clause, but a more succinct one. It is a reasonable category, and I suspect is (or could be) moderately heavily populated. Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 00:20, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * That main category is overpopulated and in chronic need of subcategorisation in my opinion. Wincoote 00:14, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Why not "Writers who have committed suicide" or even "category:suicides:writers"? The one in use is just too informal. --Theoretique 10:02, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Agree with the first suggestion as an improvement. Wincoote 00:14, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Category:Suicides seems good enough. john k 00:48, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yes, Suicides is fine, and writers as a sub if there are enough of them. MadreBurro 17:54, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Categorization says: Don't hard-code the category structure into names. Example: "Monarchs", not "People - Monarchs". "Category:Suicides:Writers" does not conform to this guideline. -- Beland 05:39, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnecessary categorization. RedWolf 01:28, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Please delete. --Pjacobi 14:52, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)
