For years now, I've seen many articles on "lost deleted scenes" or "lost cut content" from movies or shows and for some reason, video games like Cuphead.
Now I don't have anything against the articles themselves (except the out of date or poorly written ones), but all of these articles have one thing in commend none of them have a main category... Let me explain.
When you write an article about a lost film (let's use Rock Odyssey as an example) when you're done writing the article you categorize it under what it mainly is, in this case, "Lost animation," "Lost audio" and "Lost films," then you tack on the other category's such as "Partially lost media."
Now because of the many pieces of lost animation and the many lost films that exist in the world, of course, there's a main category for lost animation and lost films.
The thing is with these articles on "lost deleted scenes" and cut content is that there's no main category for lost deleted scenes and because of this people are marking them as "Lost films" when clearly they're not lost films but lost scenes films and this has really bothered me.
And that's not to mention the categories that do exist that have under 50 articles like Lost comics, Miscellaneous lost media and sub-categories such as Non-existence confirmed and Pre-LMW.
So I think that if Lost comics, Miscellaneous lost media, Pre-LMW and even Lost puppetry can exist, then I think there can be a category for lost deleted scenes.
And could we also have a page about both; the lost unreleased/unleaked assets of the Half-Life 2 leaked beta from 2003 (particularly models, sounds, textures, levels, and music), and particularly the original storyline of that game (which was going to be much darker than in the final game) for inclusion for this wiki?
I think it's a good idea to differentiate between pieces that are completely lost (or had an alternate cut that no longer survives), versus elements that were cut during production.

I think it would be a good idea to help identify more specific content, but I'm not sure if it would be more of a chore or a hassle to organize. Would something similar to unfinished/unreleased media as well, or would that be similar to the Grizzly II article depending on how much information we have on it?
