I agree with the below comment strongly and also belive that Hetty Wainthropp should be added.
Should Adrian Monk be added to this page?
There is a Wiki Article for Monk (TV series) already, but I can't find out how to edit this page.
There is a fictional nineteenth-century detective named Martin Hewitt, but if we list him and give him an article, he will need to be disambiguated from the twentieth-century impostor.
I also note that alphabetization is haphazard, with Miss Jane Marple, Marty Burns, Perry Mason, Matthew Scudder, and Joseph Matula appearing in that order, alternating first and last names. J S Ayer 17:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Fletch Won" is a novel, not a detective, and should not be listed here. There are numerous other errors in alphabetization. J S Ayer 04:49, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at Wikipedia:Category. I don't think you entirely understand the concept. You add articles to categories by adding the category to the article, not by editing the category page. -- Necrothesp 02:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to add Special agent Angela Anderson too but I can't edit either... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Undead Herle King (talk • contribs) 11:38, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is only Batman Earth two on the list, shouldn't Batman in general be on the list? I mean the current incarnation of Batman is definitely a detective

By nationality

There seems to be some demand to know about fictional detectives by nationality, if anyone fancies that task. [1] --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:25, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

This category should be moved/renamed to Category:Fictional detectives and criminal investigators. --72.67.93.68 (talk) 22:47, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a container category

These examples should be moved to sub categories; characters should be listed as what particular type of detective they are; amateur private, police etc. CensoredScribe (talk) 17:14, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
