Inclusion criteria

This category is currently being used inappropriately - e.g. it places articles about topics such as Malaria and (via a subcat) Sanitation in ancient Rome under Category:United Nations documents (which is incorrect per WP:SUBCAT). It also (currently) causes circular categorization - e.g. it is both a parent and a child of Category:Maternal health (which doesn't make sense). Note: There is a list of MDGs in the Millennium Development Goals article. There are a few articles (e.g. MDG Achievement Fund) for which the MDG is a defining characteristic. Therefore, I propose that we add inclusion criteria to the category text stating that the category is only for articles about topics whose existence is as a result of the MDG. All of the (current) sub-categories and many/most of the articles in this category should then be removed from it. DexDor (talk) 05:15, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
