Why two categories?

What is the distinction between this and Category:American murder victims?—D'Ranged 1 VT^alk 21:43, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American murder victims is for people of American nationality who were murdered. Category:People murdered in the United States is for people of any nationality who were murdered in the United States. There will be a large amount of overlap, but obviously an American person can be murdered outside of the U.S. and non-American people can be murdered within the U.S. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 04:59, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you; I've added descriptive information to both categories.—D'Ranged 1 VT^alk 20:01, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
