Category:Ohio State University Buckeyes academia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete, unnecessary subcategory of Category:Ohio State University. Most articles about a university are going to be about its academics, so it's hardly a sensible thing to split out. Any articles not already in the parent should of course be added there as well. Postdlf 21:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
However, most of the time, I see the academic aspects are overshadowed by the school athletics.
In this case, You contradicted yourself at some point against your previous comments Category:Ohio State University enthusiasm and entertainment ....Based on its contents, it seems to be mostly intended for OSU sports fandom,....--140.254.115.92 22:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I was the one who created those categories.
I do not mind if someone has a better idea or way to categorize them.
But please allow me to explain my concept, from what I see there currently are about 81 pages under the Category:Ohio State University. I am sure that the number will be growing. If we put them on in one category (Category
is a need to categorize them into different groups where they are closely related. I personally understand that our Ohio State pages and categories/sub categories should conform to standards and norms practiced in wikipedia. However, it does not mean that we cannot be creative. To my own view, I see that our existing Ohio State pages and categories/sub categories follow the norms that other universities have. The only thing is that we just created additional categories to group different categories into a smaller number so that they can be easy to view and browse on the main Category:Ohio State University. I do not see the benefits of having many subcategories in the main Category:Ohio State University, and when we click to those subcategories, there is nothing listed beyond that. There is an exception only for the school athletics. You can see that when we click on each school athletics category, there are more subcategories listed under. Moreover, under each school alumni category, when we click on it, we only see the subcategories of the school athletes. I think that American universities are more than just athletics.
As I explained earlier that my concept is that each university is comprised of three main bodies: its people, its spirit/sole, and its tangible things. We may also add its campuses and academics in there. I considered that these are main subcategories for each school under its main category. Then, I tried to group the remaining subcategories into these main subcategories. If you have a better way to group them, that is fine with me. But I do not see the benefits or putting all small subcategories directly under the main category. At least, for example, if you delete the "Category:Ohio State University Buckeyes academia", the current pages under this category will fall only under the main "Category:Ohio State University ". That means you are directly de-emphasizing the academic side of the university and promoting only the school athletics (because there are only subcategories for the school athletics and athletes).
About the redundancy, one subcategory or page may fall into different categories. I do not see any wrong with it. For example,
many school athletes are also listed under alumni and school sports players. Or are we saying that school athletics and athletes are exception??--Ohho 00:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, a university is by definition an academic institution. I agree with that 100%. But it does not mean that we should just put everything under one main category and leave them like that. As you can see the Category:Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there are 160 pages listed under this main category. And I believe that the list is still growing. Do you expect readers to browse through the long list and find things easily? Under the Category:Ohio State University, there are currently 81 pages. We have all subcategories that comply to the standards and norms used under the wiki for American universities. I think that we should find a way to group these pages into different subcategories. Therefore, they are easy to browse through and surf. It won't hurt. If you can find a way to that (group all 81 pages properly and create subcategories for them as much as we can so that it is easy to surf) it is fine with me. We have done that for American school athletics and athletes and I cannot find a reason why we should not do the same to other pages under the main (American school) categories.
Also, Let compare the subcategories under American universities with the subcategories under British academic institutions, you will see big differences. Subcategories under American universities are more about athletics. And we are saying that "a university is by definition an academic institution" When we search Subcategories under an American university, it is more like we are surfing on a sport franchise. Subcategories created under American universities are more about school athletics and athletes. Some American schools (like MIT) may be exceptional because they do not have good athletics and athletes nor do not emphasize on them. As I brought up about the Category:Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we can see that they list Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumni, Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty, Massachusetts Institute of Technology presidents separately under the main category. In this case, I like what we did better by grouping all these three subcategories into one subcategory and list it once on the main Category. To me, It looks massy if we put all subcategories under the main Category. My intention is to see as less as key subcategories under the main Category and list the detailed subcategories under the key subcategories. --Ohho 08:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Companies in Rochester, New York (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete, overcategorization. Companies by state is sufficient; below that just document them in lists to keep the categories from being too chopped up by overlocalization (companies based in Dublin, Ohio, anyone?). Also unnecessary and empty; the one entry I found was a company not actually based in Rochester. Alternative, rename to Category:Companies based in Rochester, New York to match parent Category:Companies based in New York and make organizing criteria clear.
