Delete per
WP:USERCAT: the purpose of user categories is to aid in facilitating coordination and collaboration between users for the improvement and development of the encyclopedia. This categ doesn't help that. --

Nominator's rationale: As tragic an event as this was, 12 of the 13 articles in this category are redirects to the event itself. There is no need for a category of redirects.

Delete I would vote keep if there was a chance for expansion. But it is unlikely that each murder victim will require an individual article. 23:09, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Keep Neither of the rationales for deletion is valid. The inclusion criterion is very clear: each categorized article matches the category in
Category:Main topic classifications. And it is easily maintainable (as a 41-member category tends to be): I just maintained it, as I have regularly over the years. The logic behind the consensus by which the corresponding category was kept,
here, applies to this category as well.

The main issue is that it is not a defining characteristic, one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define, because it does not depend on sources at all. As for maintenance, there is no system in place to maintain it so if you would stop maintenance nobody would notice and nobody would take over.

Keep - this is clearly part of the
Category:Main topic classifications structure. Yes, we "could" merge these to be top listed in that cat, but I think having them currently split to their own cat helps navigation - one of the main purposes of categorisation, per

3 Catholic Cardinals and Archbishops:
Anthony Bevilacqua of Philadelphia,
Fernando Cento of the Apostolic Penitentiary, and
J. Michael Miller of Vancouver provide spiritual guidance for the order.
None of these groups seem especially defined by the award, which is generally mentioned in passing. Finally, there have been multiple schisms in the royal family each which gives out rival versions of the award so there is no agreed upon list of the true recipients. There wasn't a list so I created one right
here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. -

Keep. Unlike some others, this medal does seem to be used to honour those who have actually achieved something. Doesn't just seem to have been given to retiring politicians. --
