Problem is that is slipping back into "we have to show how *vile* the character is!" mentality. Murder is murder, and rare are those who'll kill adults to balk at killing children. Sure The Green Mile made a point of the death of children as a driving plot element—and he was not proven as innocent to the law, only to the belief of the COs—but it was not the only element at play. The fact he was a black negro made it even worse.

Is Godzilla a child-murderer? While never shown kids are killed, it is unreasonable to think that in all the collateral destruction of buildings and property that no kids are ever killed.

Even if someone actually uses tagged categories to search for other pages, "Homicidal" will still let them find child-murderers.

Thing is, if we continue to keep categories because of how well they represent characters (how *vile* they are!), we might as well stop the cleanup process now. Might as well just have one-line articles and let the cat-tags do all the talking.

There's a reason why in the post above listing the varied Darth Vader articles that Villains Wiki has the most categories for him.
