Not at all. When I said the category was vague, I was mentioning about its application, not the term itself. If we keep the category, we might as well add almost every comic book  and video game villain to it because it's very common for these types of villains to try to kill someone. Unpowered villains was deleted because its application could apply almost every villain that doesn't have any superpower. So I think it doesn't it really helps in categorizing pages.

Also the application of the category would just be abused. Take a look at the Evil Vs. Evil category, the description specifically says that it's only for corrupt and dubious heroes whose main enemies are villains that are worse than them but villains like the Joker, Shredder, Sergeant Martinez and such do not belong. It is abused to the point that it might be deleted again. I've inspected the Attempted Murder category and found some villains like Fire Lord Ozai and Klarion the Witch Boy added to it even though it said villains who already murder someone do not belong to the category. Ozai murdered his father and Klarion murdered his parents by turning them into mice and feeding them to his cat. By looking at the usage of this category, I think it will just be heavily abused

Additionally categories similiar to it were deleted many times before. I think it was debated a few years ago that villains who killed (the hero's families, friends etc.) were unnecessary and that murderers, mass-murderers and such were enough. Finally, I'm not the only one who disagrees with the Attempted Murderers category, B1b1kal and Balthus Dire also believe that the category is unnecessary. The later also deleted the category a few days ago but it seems some user who ignored the rules brought it back.
