If we allowed people to categorize pages in every way imagineable, we'd be overrun with categories with little use. So here's the criteria I use when I determine whether a category should be created or not, and bear in mind this is not an end-all by any means:

1. How many pages will be in this category? If not very many, the category is of little use. 2. Is there a category already in existence which covers what this new category will? If so, there's no need to make a new one. 3. How likely is it that people searching the wiki will want to search pages by this criteria? If it is a common search, it might be worth making depending on the other criteria. If not likely at all, then it isn't worth it. 4. How verifiable are the pages going into the category? If very, might be worth it. If not, not really necessary. An example of this would be a second-in-command category (which I believe already exists). Assuming Alata or Hyde is the SIC of the Goseigers and then adding them would be wrong because the Goseigers didn't have an official leader. Without an official leader, how could there be a SIC? Things like this should be considered. If you're going to categorize based on something make sure it is verifiable on the pages going in.

With regards to the category you described, I think it would be useful to have. I would, however, shorten the nam,e.
