here's the deal, I'm just one admin and I'm *meant* to side with other admins but I'm sorry here..

I can't honestly say I support *all* forms of murder being merged into a super-category, there comes a limit to what I can see as reasonable changes and what I see as needlessly simplifying the wiki : yes, making one "Murderer" category would suffice but at a sacrifice.. specific categories are not needing to be removed with extreme prejudice, some can stay if they hold merit..

we're a VERY unique wiki in that we deal in pretty much ALL FICTION, I dare say we're one of the *only* wikis to attempt that.. that means we can potentially have *infinite* articles.. so of course we'll have much more categories than other wikis, we are likely to be one of the biggest wikis ever made at some point (simply going by our subject matter) : our task is keeping the categories from caving-in on themselves, not eradicating them to comply to the standards of other wikis (which are almost always a single subject deal, thus require less categories).

Child-Murders and Serial-Killers should stay separate, the Mass-Murderer and Spree-Killer can be merged with Destroyer or Terrorist and I agree that Homicidal should be reserved for "Thrill Killers" (as Thrill Killers are deserving of a cat, I am very surprised we never had one before).

Having four distinct Murder based cats is by no means unacceptable and I say "so be it":

1) Murderer

2) Child-Murderer

3) Serial-Killer

4) Homicidal (or Thrill Killer)

(Mass-Murderer and Spree-Killers can become part of Terrorist or Destroyer since they are not simple murderers at that point but full-blown terrorists / nihilists out to kill *en mass* )
