Need to review categorization

[edit]

The above discussion related to a wider unsuccessful proposal to merge the categories of "Russian immigrants", "Soviet immigrants" and "Imperial Russian immigrants" to a specific country into a single category of "Russian and Soviet immigrants" to that country. Although this category and its two sister categories, Category:Russian immigrants to the United States and Category:Soviet immigrants to the United States, were created some time ago, many articles appear to have been incorrectly categorized among the three categories, in particular, being placed in Category:Russian immigrants to the United States rather than in one of the other two categories. In light of the discussion referred to above, the articles currently in the three categories should be reviewed and, where applicable, moved to the appropriate sister category (now four, with the addition of Category:White Russian immigrants to the United States). To assist future correct categorization (and consistent with the categorization of Russian/Soviet immigrants to other countries), all four of these categories now appear as subcategories of a container category, Category:Russian and Soviet immigrants to the United States.
