Therefore, preventing people from placing pastas in the Death category that only have death in them, rather than focusing on it, is a possible solution. However, I HAVE to agree, Death is an overused category. Maybe block people who put pastas that do not involve death being the focus (see above) into the category? The issue is not so much on the content but rather the category in itself.

As stated above, there are over 3000 stories that are categorized as "death" giving "death" a very broad and pointless category. And for the "Death-focused-pastas" they can already have more than one category with it making that argument invalid.

Death cannot be just one category. There is a cause for death and reason. If you are just talking about death then you are also talking about reasons or possibilities.

This is why death needs to be taken down. It's a watered-down, and extremely broad topic that just doesn't belong in the categories and there are plenty other alternatives out there.
