631:, I would like to see all categories that define cause of death of notable people maintained on WP. A comment from 2008 user suggested that WP should not be a medical database. Knowledge (XXG) is already a medical database. This kind of categorization keyed in to Wikidata will lead to information that may have positive/negative effects on future health issues. As a medical editor, I scour dozens of medical journals for information. One type of reference that is unacceptable is called a case study. And though I read case studies, combining them is considered original research. What I have learned is that many medical discoveries have been made by the creative observations of clinicians who discover a link between the death of one person to others. Where else can this be done? Allowing cause of death categories contributes to the sum of all human knowledge and does not conflict in any way with having categories of cause of death. Illness has a catastrophic effect if it leads to the death of a person! It is an essential defining characteristic of a topic. To keep deleting categories generally harms this encyclopedia. Retain categories, tolerate redundancies and help readers find the information they need.

Knowledge (XXG) 'is' becoming a medical database to some extent, and this just supports the use of our encyclopaedia to this purpose.

Called by bot. Looking at the discussion that led to the deletion of the category, there was a consensus to containerize the category - that is, have a series of subcategories describing death caused by some specific variant of cardiovascular disease. The rationale was that cardiovascular disease in

The central goal of the category system is to provide navigational links to all
Knowledge (XXG) pages in a hierarchy of categories which readers, knowing essential—defining—characteristics of a topic, can browse and quickly find sets of pages on topics that are defined by those

I would support creation of these categories through the standard procedure, which requires evidence that it could be populated. With such a thing as cause of death, most major ones are going to be feasible to populate a category with. Per
