Deaths in 2014 vs 2014 Deaths

Greetings,

I had started a category, "Deaths in 2014", with the purpose of providing a super-category that would include all deaths on the Gerontology Wiki in 2014...both supercentenarians and non-supercentenarians. However, someone had already started a "2014 deaths" and populated it (although '2016 deaths" was empty). I think we need to merge these efforts. One thing to consider is which naming system would be better, and this is less a matter of tone than one of organization. "Deaths in (xxxx)" has the alphabetical advantage of listing all the "Deaths in" categories close together..."(xxxx) Deaths" has the numerical advantage, but would include, for example, 2014 births.

Before we expend a great deal of energy in this direction, I would like to hear what some other editors think regarding which method would be more effective.Ryoung122 (talk) 21:02, February 19, 2016 (UTC)
