They is not a proper noun or a common noun. The word 'they' is a pronoun, a word that takes the place of a plural or multiple nouns; the third person, subjective form. The pronoun 'they' can take the place of common or proper nouns; for example:

The dogs have had their walk, now they want food.

Fran and Frank are coming to lunch; they will be here at one.

Neither, they is not a noun; the word 'they' is a pronoun.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

The pronoun 'they' is the plural, third person, subjective, personal pronoun.

The pronoun 'they' takes the place of a plural noun or two or more nouns as the subject of a sentence or a clause.

Example: My parents are coming to visit. They will arrive on Saturday. (the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the plural noun 'parents' as the subject of the second sentence)

They is a pronoun. Proper nouns are the unique names of people, places, or things. Common nouns are words for general things. Pronouns replace proper and common nouns.
