Category:Dead people A more polite and more official term would be Category:Deceased people or something similar. This just seems a bit gruff and impolite to me. --Patstuart (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)  Oppose. Dead is the technical, neutral term to decribe the state of having died. Also, it is one of the first words that English-learners learn, so that it makes the category as usable for non-native speakers as possible. Something different, though: I think that no category or page about a person should be a direct child of Category:Dead people. Being in the corresponding deaths by year-category should be enough. That should clean up the category quite a bit. --rimshottalk 16:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)  Oppose. Dead is simply correct; agree completely with Rimshot. - Jmabel ! talk 03:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC)  Not done 哦，是吗？(висчвын) 20:57, 18 May 2008 (GMT)
