Therefore, why don't we have Category:Cleanup

Adding the cleanup tag automatically puts the page into the cleanup
category.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cleanup already has
over 1100 entries.
The advantage of also listing the article on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cleanup is that it allows you
to see which are most recent, and also gives a brief summary of the
problem, so if you're only interested in finding articles with POV
issues you can focus just on those. Dividing the cleanup category into
different types, in a similar way to the division of stub tags might
lessen the need for the separate Cleanup page.
I strongly feel these should only appear on talk pages, but I gave up
arguing that a while ago because people insist on having them on
articles, supposedly because they feel readers need to be warned the
article is not good enough.
