 By the standards of [[Tardis:Even good categories can be removed]] and [[Tardis:Don't over-categorise]], this category should be deleted. Yes, it contains information that would be interesting to some people (as any possible category would), but it's not really that relevant to the wiki as a whole.

-::Well, as the creator of the category, I vote to keep it as stories that are released posthumously are very rare in terms of the overall franchise and therefore notable in their own right.[[User:MystExplorer|MystExplorer]] [[User talk:MystExplorer|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:32, June 5, 2018 (UTC)

+::Regarding the deletion proposal, see the above topic where a user had to ask for a definition of who/what constitutes a posthumous release. And just how far do we take the "crew" for this? Does every single crew member count? If not, then that automatically requires this category to be deleted. And given how we don't allow posting of birth/death dates without sources, we would require citation of death for every person whose "posthumous release" falls in this category.

+::: I have now renovated [[List of posthumous releases]] to be a list which includes sources for all of the death dates. With this in mind, I would not be opposed to the deletion of this category. --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:59, July 9, 2020 (UTC)
+:::: Another reason to delete (although I think the existence of the list page is reason enough) is a possible violation of [[Tardis:Category naming conventions]] in that many articles in the category conflate "releases" with "stories". --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:15, November 11, 2020 (UTC)
+:::::So will the category be deleted or not? I think it's time for a consensus.[[User:MystExplorer|MystExplorer]] [[User talk:MystExplorer|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:22, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
+: Yeah, doing it now. There's been no real counterargument raised against the several good reasons why this category is unviable, even from you, who rooted for the category's retention; and [[User:Borisashton]] has ensured that this information will still be available on the Wiki, just not as a category.

+== Remove deletion tag? ==
+Since no action has been taken, I assume it's safe to remove the deletion tag from this category? [[User:MystExplorer|MystExplorer]] [[User talk:MystExplorer|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:51, October 5, 2019 (UTC)
