Something which we haven't considered is those in Category:Unique beings. Take, The Cold (Time and Relative), for example. This being is in Category:Earth sentients at present. This category is nested within Category:Species by planet, which is clearly not ideal, as the Cold isn't a species.

Perhaps we should keep Category:Earth sapients, but instead have it cover both Category:Sapient Earth species as well as sapient individuals from Earth, including unique beings from Earth. The same would apply to any other locations which pass the rule of three. Really we just need a category which connects these beings to Earth somehow.

Similarly, Category:Sapients could cover both Category:Sapient species and all these unique beings (at least the sapient ones). Obviously these categories would be as-well-as those discussed in my OP, so that we have a category pathway defining species, and a separate (but connected) pathway defining sapience. (which we already have)

As well as this, we have Category:Sentient art, Category:Sentient astronomical objects, Category:Sentient astronomical objects, etc. which would all be treated in similar ways.
