Therefore, why don't we have Category:Cleanup consisting of the Talk pages, rather than the articles?
Adding the cleanup tag automatically puts the page into the cleanup category. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cleanup already has over 1100 entries.
The advantage of also listing the article on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cleanup is that it allows you to see which are most recent, and also gives a brief summary of the problem, so if you're only interested in finding articles with POV issues you can focus just on those. Dividing the cleanup category into different types, in a similar way to the division of stub tags might lessen the need for the separate Cleanup page.
I strongly feel these should only appear on talk pages, but I gave up arguing that a while ago because people insist on having them on articles, supposedly because they feel readers need to be warned the article is not good enough.
