This month (June 2023) I will begin to review the names which have been added to the "List of Puerto Ricans". Those unknown names which have been added without following the proper rules of inclusion will be removed. As stated by the "rules of inclusion" all the names added must be of notable people and must have a reliable source which states their Puerto Rican heritage. Any name that is removed can be added once more only if a proper source is included which indicates that said person is in fact notable and Puerto Rican or of Puerto Rican heritage.

Please note that a request for hundreds of categories to be moved was done via Speedy move request. Therefore the request did not show up on the Project's article alerts. The move was begun, then halted because it was opposed. Please read here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Speedy#Opposed_requests

In summary it has to do with renaming categories that say ...states in the United States to ...states or territories in the United States.

It is my understanding that the US territories are not in the US. WP:PRUS.

Please consider adding it to your watchlist, and participating if when it becomes a real discussion.
