c) [[Category:Living people]] - dead people have the cat removed
As far as I know there is no easy way to track category removal. Special:Relatedchanges/Category:Living_people will not show edits which remove the category, and any edits previously visible on this list (prior to category removal) will disappear from it.
Bleh, I suspected this was the case.
Matters of propriety may have discouraged this in the past but now that we have the __HIDDENCAT__ feature, we might consider adding dead people directly to [[Category:Dead people]].
Wouldn't it be unnecessary? After all, they'll all be in [[Category:YEAR deaths]], all of which will be subcategories of the main one...
(Actually, I suppose that's option d), see who's had the current year-of-death cat added. Hrm.)
