Move the following concepts OUT of "astronomical research" and into some other grouping concept relating to people in astronomy, uncertain what this should be.

Amateur astronomers Astronomers Astrophysicists Sociology of astronomy

Issue #357 recommends deprecate "Sociology of astronomy" and merge into "Ethnoastronomy"

Amateur astronomers http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/34 Astronomers http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/34 Astrophysicists http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/105

are people rather than astronomical research methods or disciplines. The concept Astronomical Research http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/91 lacks a definition, which makes deciding exactly what belongs under it more difficult.

Adding a "people" branch would also benefit the history of astronomy community.
