The name Seismic faults is more accurate and descriptive than just faults. they are also duplicative and redundant of each other.

No. Fault is a valid geologic term which would include seismically active faults as well old or inactive faults. The current categorization is more accurate, with
Category:Seismic faults a proper sub cat of
Category:Faults. In addition, the term seismic fault appears to be a synonym for active fault and as far as I know is not much used.
