Need for further categorization
This category was nominated for
renaming on 2 February 2010. The result of the discussion was keep.
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 the two sister categories to this category,
Category:Imperial 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 this category rather than in one of the two sister categories. In light of the discussion referred to above, the articles currently in this category (as well as the sister categories) should be reviewed and, where applicable, moved to the appropriate sister category. Generally, based on the discussion, this category should only include articles on immigrants from the post-Soviet, Russian Federation. To assist future correct categorization (and consistent with the categorization of Russian/Soviet immigrants to other countries), all three of all these categories now appear as subcategories of a container category,
Category:Russian and Soviet immigrants to the United States.
