My concern is that people are using Category:Criminals // Category:American Criminals as a way to push negative POVs aginst such persons (regardless if the person is alive or dead). The reason for my concern is that it indiscriminately group people as diverse as person that was convicted from stealing a pair of jeans at Wal- Mart with serial killers, rapists and the like.
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.
