I believe there's already a guideline on this, or at least on the use
of lists of such things. I think we actually have a guideline against
the creation of vilification lists - vilification categories should
probably go with it.

Now, how about "notorious criminals"? Hmm.  "Famous criminals"? Might
be different - at least you're saying the person's crime has to be
famous.
