Suicide by year/age[edit]

Is there a particular reason why we don't have categories for suicides by year and by age please? Not enough to populate, or is there a consensus not to create them for another reason?Zigzig20s (talk) 08:31, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Zigzig20s: Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Like, "Category: 19-year-olds who committed suicide in 2002"? Can you give an example category? МандичкаYO 😜 08:29, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, something like Category:Suicides at 31, Category:Suicides in 1941 (for example for Earl Heikka).Zigzig20s (talk) 13:51, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to the murders by year category? No problem if you want to create them. Dimadick (talk) 11:53, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zigzig20s: suicides by year are not WP:DEFINING traits: we don't categorize people by age at death, nor should we categorize by age at suicide. A category full of people with nothing more in common besides the year they took their life is of interest to an extremely small subset of readers. See WP:Overcategorization. Please do not create such trivial categories, they will be nominated for deletion. --Animalparty! (talk) 05:04, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
