Categories have been a massive problem here and the reason why there seem to be so many is because this wiki covers a topic that spans all forms of media and is absolutely huge. People misuse a lot of them. I can see some of your points concerning the relevance of some categories to pages, seeing as many people tag villains if they feel they even loosely apply to the category.

To specifically share my thoughts on the example you've listed...

-Living Villains: All categories denoting a villain's status (deceased, living, imprisoned, etc.) I feel are necessary to keep track of the character's ultimate fate. Living I'd keep to maintain a pattern with Deceased and Imprisoned, and also realize this; in the world of fiction, villains kick the bucket more than any other type of character.

-Sons/Daughters: Echoing and I feel categories like that should all be merged into one super-category. Actually, having super-categories in general might help a little.

-Humans: ...was deleted a while ago on the judgment of being irrelevant.
