Objects category become entities category's subcategory.

Because Entities is more global than objects. By definition, an object is a entities.Zipodu (talk) 15:52, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

this is an extremely complex and problematic category. most of these are human defined entities, like governments, systems, etc. but we have angels, which are human defined but described as existing independent of human thought. the united states does NOT existe independent of human thought. angels are claimed to do so. they are from a rational point of view fictional, or unprovable. calling them entities on a par with rocks, planes, wolves, is not correct. for a religious person they are entities of course, but this is a secular project, not giving religious beliefs credit for being real, only what some people believe to be real. I would suggest that this category be reviewed more carefully, and definitely by people with a more thorough grasp of english than Zipodu. no slight, but this is heavy stuff, we need very clear expression of thoughtMercurywoodrose (talk) 22:18, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mercurywoodrose:You are right on this point. I t's clear that I didn't think about that. I also think there is a definition issue but not for the sames reasons :

For me, if this category is booked for "legal person", this category shouldn't be called Entities, indeed an entity can designate two concepts : non physical-entity and legal person. Why not create two distinct categories for this two distinct concepts ? Another possible solution would be to rename the "entities category." in "legal person" Zipodu (talk) 21:25, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
