:Yeah, that does look a bit strange, doesn't it? I say we go for the split. It'd be easier for users on the wiki who want to find a non-fictional deceased person in a separate page rather than find them scrambled on a page with several fictional characters. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:30, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Why put people in the real world and fictional characters in the same category? Notions that "Satoru Iwata and Cackletta are both deceased" sound weird to me... A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 03:23, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Not to mention Bob Hoskins, Christopher Collins, Danny Wells, Dennis Hopper, Gunpei Yokoi, Hiroshi Yamauchi, Kate Fleming, and Lou Albano. I think we should have Category:Deceased (fictional) and Category:Deceased (non-fictional). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 03:35, 19 May 2016 (EDT)
I don't know why, probably the one who put it there felt like it needed to be there but Princess Shroob and Bob Hoskins being in a category together doesn't really make sense to me either. I will have a talk with a Sysop and get something sorted. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars artwork: Smithy The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 03:55, 19 May 2016 (EDT)
