Whether the DWP was a cult or not, it clearly wasn’t a new religious movement…because it wasn’t religious. The terms aren’t synonymous Prezbo (talk) 05:37, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point and makes sense; the one issue is that there isn't a category for former members of "cults" (that I know of), only of "new religious movements". We could always just make that category, but there would be a lot of overlap and redundancy between them. For now though, let's keep the category off her article but look for a solution, since the identity of being a former member is important to her biography and work.

I guess it would have to be “people who self identify as former members of cults.” Maybe that would be a useful category but I also think it’s ok if the categories don’t capture everything important about someone Prezbo (talk) 18:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, and I think there are enough categories similar to that which would allow people interested to find this article anyway. Jacquesparker0 (talk) 19:00, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
