What you are doing along with the rest of the staff will cause you and them more work at the end. You are supposed to remove the pages first so that at least you can find them in categories, but now you are piling heaps of articles into disorganization, losing control of what they were before and what purpose they served. I think it is great there is a lead for them, but you are going in reverse.

From a more logical perspective, you are supposed to take care of the articles as a primary task, for the following reasons: I personally suggest that you stop the categories and switch to the articles. It will work much better, that I reckon.
 * They will reduce the amount of useless pages before you get to decategorization
 * You decrease the amount of articles per cateogory simultaneously
 * You will keep things in order as desired pages stay in their respective category
 * You need not apply Link Sweeper for extended amounts of time, decreasing the workload and increasing the performance
