Line 98:
*{{Anchor|V|Verifiable|Verifiability|CATV}}{{Shortcut|WP:CAT#V|WP:CATV}} '''''[[Wikipedia:Verifiability|Verifiable]]''''': It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories. Use the {{tl|Unreferenced category}} template if you find an article in a category that is not shown by sources to be appropriate or if the article gives no clear indication for inclusion in a category.
*{{Anchor|POV|NPOV|CATPOV|POVCAT}}{{anchor|Neutral|N}}{{Shortcut|WP:CAT#N|WP:CATPOV|WP:POVCAT}} '''''[[Wikipedia:NPOV|Neutral]]''''': Categorizations appear on article pages without annotations or referencing to justify or explain their addition; editors should be conscious of the need to maintain a neutral point of view when creating categories or adding them to articles. Categorizations should generally be uncontroversial; if the category's topic is likely to spark controversy, then a [[Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists|list article]] (which can be annotated and referenced) is probably more appropriate.
*: For example, a politician (not convicted of any crime) should not be added to a category of notable criminals.
