I'm sure there are a bunch of pages that could go under this category and it's really an interesting topic. I'll try to start working on it later, any help would be appreciated! PoptartKing 05:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Historiography is the study of Historians and their works while this category is about historical theories. They aren't the same thing at all, so I'm removing the merge template. -- JeffW 20:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't merge. Historiography could be anything related to systematic historical research, while Theories of history is a useful subset common expanations to historical phenomena. A quick look at the list of articles labeled Theories of history will reveal the usefulnes of having such a category. H@r@ld 23:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
It looks like Category:Theories of history is being kept - or at least I no longer see the CFD or the merge tags, and the cat is now a subcat of Category:Historiography. I notice, however, that Francis Fukuyama and Friedrich Nietzsche (et al.) are people, not theories, and thus this category does not really describe them well.
Therefore, I propose Category:Theorists of history as a new subcat of Category:Theories of history. Unless someone knows of a better term, which is why I'm making a proposal rather than simply being bold. I thought of "Historical theorists", but the way that category names around here work, that seems more like "theorists of historical, rather than current, interest" rather than "theorists whose field is history."
Unless someone else is just itching to do it, I am perfectly willing to create and populate whatever category, if any, achieves consensus. I figure it should also have Category:Historians as a parent, but I may have overlooked some additional parent cats as well. -- KGF0 ( T | C ) 06:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

The entry "Cyclical Theory" regarding Schlesinger's theory of cycles in American history should go here. Endeavored to add it but was unable to access list from "edit" function. This may be the result of my ignorance of the peculiarities of editing Categories or a consequence of some maintenance of the Wikipedia being done simultaneous with my editorial attempt. If someone else is able to to insert the internal link, please do. LAWinans ( talk) 07:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Both the book and the article are in subcategory "Cyclical theories" of the category.-- Maxaxa ( talk) 23:37, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
