I'm not sure if Category:Grandes écoles should be translated into English, and whether or not it should be "Universities and colleges in France"? -- Beland 04:27, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Grandes Écoles are a particular kind of French university, so Category:Grandes écoles should first of all be capitalized properly, and then should be made a subcategory of Category:Universities and colleges in France. Category:Lists of colleges and universities should also be kept as a subcategory of Category:Universities and colleges. Not my thing, but based on the proliferation of these kinds of categories in many other areas, a lot of people seem to like grouping list articles all together. I agree that all of the remaining should be merged into Category:Universities and colleges and then deleted. There is no use to having separate categories for universities and colleges.

The following discussion comes from Wikipedia:Categories for deletion. The consensus was to keep both categories, but the contents of each may need to be examined. Renaming one or both categories has been suggested. (If this is to be done, the category to be renamed ought to be listed separately at Categories for deletion.) -[[User:Aranel| Aranel ("Sarah")]] 19:02, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
If there is a difference between these two categories, I can't fathom it. I think they should probably be merged, maybe under a third title. If you support keeping them both, it might not be a bad idea to articulate definitions that can be posted in the intros for future reference. -- Beland 07:24, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
"Academic institutions" currently has articles about types of schools, as well - medical and art, and general school-related articles. The subcategories of school types list specific institutions (for the deaf, for architecture). So these categories certainly aren't segregated in the proposed fashion right now. It does sound reasonable to divide things up that way, though. My only concern would be, shouldn't the terminology be consistent? Shouldn't it be "Types of academic institutions" and "Academic institutions" ...or... "Schools" and "School types"? And intuitively one might expect to find "Architecture schools" under either "Schools" (since the members of "Architecture schools" are schools") and "School types" (since "Architecture schools" represents a type). So why not just have one category where the articles are general or about classes and the subcategories organize specific instantiations? (And aren't "research institutes" academic institutions but not schools?) -- Beland 07:44, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Keep. They should be segregated properly, if they aren't. anthony 警告 23:42, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
