I'm with Uskok on the skeletal, one-sentence articles. They really add nothing of significance and detract from the overall quality of the wiki. We don't need "placeholders" that don't contain any information. Red links are preferable, and not a bad thing.

Articles should not be created for new characters before we know anything about them. If we know something about the characters in advance, as we do about, say, Audrey, then that's one thing. But stuff like this and this doesn't improve the wiki and serve no purpose other than perhaps uping the contributors stats.

As for the Category situation, I agree that there are some pretty useless categories. Anything that begins with "Characters killed by..." can go as far as I'm concerned.

As to why useless categories are created, I blame those stupid badges. Yeah, I thought that they were fun at first myself, but they create a feeding frenzy when there aren't enough categories to go around and everyone wants a badge. And for what, really? The rankings are meaningless.
