It was proposed in this section that List of Russian historians be renamed and moved to Category:Russian historians. result: Procedural close. Think it's fair to assume that the nom agrees to a different outcome, so this request is closed, and editors can proceed with suggested improvements.

List of Russian historians → Category:Russian historians – I propound that this change should happen because the List of Russian historians category is outdated. And, I think it’s better to have one list. If not, I suggest we simply delete the Russian historian category and let this one be predominant and plausibly change it to a category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Okiyo9228 (talk • contribs) 05:35, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A list is obviously not a category and can not be moved to a category. I am not exactly sure what you propose. Ymblanter (talk) 08:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Yes, I am unsure what exactly is being proposed. But Wik.ipedia.Pro:Categories, lists, and navigation templates makes it clear that categories and list articles are two of the three ways to group and organize articles. Each method complements the others, and one should not be merely deleted because they are redundant. If the issue is that the List of Russian historians article needs to be updated, then, like any such other article with that type of issue, should be tagged with {{Update}} and eventually undergo the cleanup process.

  Yeah, I meant the Russian historian category is outdated, but your right about it simply tagging it, I propounded to copy all of the entities in list of Russian historian into the category subsequently deleting the list of Russian historians. But, I'd say your response should be the correct way to do it. Okiyo9228 (talk) 04:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
