Which categories belong here

[edit]

Rutgers School of Law—Newark is part of Rutgers University. This category, and all the categories therein belong in Category:Rutgers University. The category is one named for a university, so it belongs in Category:Categories named after universities and colleges. The school itself is a law school based in New Jersey, so the school belongs in Category:Law schools in New Jersey. All of the items in this category -- magazines published by the school, alumni and faculty -- are not law schools. As such, the Category:Law schools in New Jersey does not belong here and will be removed. This is how categories work. Alansohn (talk) 21:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look at Category:Universities and colleges in New Jersey; you will observe subcategories for each of the constituent universities and colleges, each subcat containing items which are not universities or colleges. This is how categories work - a category is not a set. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 00:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Or Category:Law schools in Connecticut. Or Category:Baseball teams in New Jersey; you will find people in subcats, and it is not generally inferred from this that people are Baseball teams. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 09:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will be more than happy to correct the other errors, give me a few minutes. Can you explain why only the law school category is included and not every other category? What policy dictates improper inclusion of these categories? Alansohn (talk) 12:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
