Sorry to be pedantic, Davidgoodheart, but a Disappearance does not tend to have a birth date, nor is a Disappearance a "Possibly living people", nor a "People from Woburn, Massachusetts". Bottom line is that you are using categories that are appropriate to a biography of a person, in an article which purports to be about a disappearance. IMO you should either rename the article as MM, or lose the inappropriate categories. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:05, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Advised to move to Melanie Melanson, however the rule is not set in stone for those categories. In general, I agree that it makes sense though. --- Dane2007talk 02:26, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
