If the person is dead, they certainly can't sue us for libel (of
course, they can't sue *us* for libel anyway, only the person who
actually added the libelous statement).

But the NPOV issues are more serious.  I don't see how a category such
as "criminals" can possibly be NPOV.  "Convicted criminals" maybe. 
"Indicted criminals" might be possible.  "Alleged criminals" would
probably be way too broad (might as well redirect it to "List of
people").
