When I look at the preview for this page on other pages that link to it, it's clearly been vandalised. I don't know how to access editing for the preview, so I can't change it. Flotsamfrog ( talk) 02:24, 19 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.
