Should these be kept?
edit@Pppery: these appear to be for secondary schools, not colleges. – Fayenatic London 15:35, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: I've been aware of this tree ever since it showed up on the maintenance lists that I later would publicize as User:Pppery/User category report#Redlinks: Wikipedians by alma mater: and User:Pppery/User category report#Miscategorized: Wikipedians_by_alma_mater: and largely said "this is too complicated, just punt". My thoughts are, if you look back to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/User/Archive/August 2007#Category:Wikipedians by high school and subcats , the underlying reason was
Being a member of a particular high school does not inherently foster contribution. The social networking aspect of it is not something to be desired by our user category system
. It's probably best to ignore precedent here and just analyze that question: Does having gone to a religious school associated with a particular branch of catholicisminherently foster collaboration
or is it merelysocial networking [... that] is not something to be desired by our user category system
? In the former case, these should be kept, and in the later case they should be deleted. As an atheist, I really can't answer that question. One final note: I generally view the goal of my user-category-related edits to be to enforce past consensuses reached, not break new ground, and thus am reluctant to nominate category trees that have been around since 2006 for deletion. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:33, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
