This is something we've been looking into the past few months. When I came back, it came to my attention that there were many articles about real life criminals who haven't been mentioned by name but may have still inspired an unsub or events in an episode. The main issue was that these pages were created but never expanded and if they were, there was no obvious reference to the show. OmniFrieza994 has been keeping me updated on the matter.

This is just my personal opinion but I think the Unreferenced Criminals category is genuinely a good idea, often what inspires stories the most are not always explicitly stated, if that makes sense so it does hold value to the wiki. But the pages need to fit a certain criteria: the most important being that a direct link to the show must be clearly established from the creation of the page. So many of the pages simply have the "On Criminal Minds" sections blank, which is the most frustrating thing. 994 took the liberty of flagging any pages not up to standard as "Candidates for deletion" before the new year so we've already taken steps to tackling this issue. That said, it's easier said than done as we're talking literally dozens of pages. But I appreciate you coming to me about this, the feedback helps more than you might think.
