Oppose. Before the creation on the new categories, "Former pupils" was prominently used in these parent categories and it is the term used for the parent category. The new categories can be changed to the "Former pupils" format.

Interesting. According to
this discussion, there were only three "People educated at" categories in February. Hmmm. I realize that there's likely no overturning the "Old (Whatever)s" in bulk, but maybe we should have a discussion about those that aren't saddled with names like that. I don't care which is used (I prefer "alumni" for everything), but let's settle on a standard.--

Support. The general consensus that developed in the Febuary discussion of this matter was to use "People educated at" except in the cases were there is an Old Foo or Old Fooian or Old Fooite form, which was basically not decided on in any way. However there was a clear consensus to move everything else to People educated at, and we sould do that. Amont the many advantages of people educated at X is that it allows us to put people in the category who become notable while still in school. This would include members of royal families who are notable from birth.

Support. "People educated at" seems to me to be a fine compromise. It avoids the use of "former", which is usually a good idea to avoid in category names, lest users get the idea that it's a good idea for them to start categorizing all sorts of things by former status. (Ideally, all the "Old Fartian" categories would be changed to this easily understandable option, but I realise that's probably pie in the sky.)
Good Ol’factory(talk)01:17, 19 July 2011 (UTC)reply
Support (including as creator of the Howell's School Llandaff category). Having recently created many of the categories for all four parts of the UK, I used "People educated at..." because it's the term that's found favour in recent CFDs as the best compromise. As well as what others have said, it's a term that avoids the use of "pupils", "students" and "alumni", all of which people have opposed for UK schools because each individual term is not used at individual schools (for those outside the UK terminology is not terribly consistent here) and led to lengthy debate in past CFDs.

You assume that all four parts of the UK use the same terminology. If you had looked at the separate categories you would have seen that was not the case. In Scotland for instance "Former pupils"(FP) is a commmon term, as noted in the article for
Alumnus.

At the time of the previous discussion, I looked at both the Wales and Scotland parent categories which were both fairly consistent. Around that time some new categories were created using "People educated at ...", (it appeared to be an attempt to influence the discussion then going on), which created the mess in those categories. Before these categories were created, for Wales, Old Fooians and Former pupils categories dominated. For Scotland it was a mixture of Old Fooians, Former pupils and Alumni, but this reflected the different nature of the schools, for instance drama schools tended to use Alumni. At the time these were not big categories. In the UK, pupils is used to describe schoolchildren, while those studying at universities are described as students, so "Former pupils" dominates for schools that do not use Old Fooians in the UK. Also it is the term used in the parent categories for Wales and Scotland.

I have the stats for the Wales non-Old Fooian, non-People cats to hand and they don't bear out that claim. The categories were created at the following times:
Alumni of Monmouth School - 23:17, 15 November 2009
Former pupils of Gowerton School - 10:41, 28 February 2010
Former pupils of Wrexham Grammar School - 13:27, 4 March 2010
Former pupils of College Merion-Dwyfor - 22:01, 9 April 2010
Alumni of Dynevor School, Swansea - 20:38, 30 December 2010
Alumni of St. Michael's College, Llandaff - 22:52, 30 December 2010
Alumni of Llanelli Boys' Grammar School - 11:33, 25 January 2011
Former pupils of Howell's School Llandaff - 21:04, 26 January 2011
Alumni of Cardiff High School - 15:57, 19 March 2011
Brecon Grammar School alumni - 14:42, 15 May 2011
That's a mess, not the near clarity you are claiming existed. I created the categories because the schools in question had not yet been categorised and a naming form was needed, so it was natural to use the one produced by the most recent CFD with consensus on the matter. There's also little indicating the Scottish cats really reflect the different types of school; nor is such a distinction flagged.
That was before the most recent of discussions but whilst yes Wales was clearer than other parts of the UK overall there was still a mess. Demands for separate consideration for each part of the UK have been limited.

In previous CFDs people have objected to using "pupils" because some schools now call the the educatees "students" and this has added to the protracted discussion. Hence "People educated at..." was proposed as a format that bypasses the problem.

Oppose. Pupils was and still is perfectly fine. Like Cjc13, I'd rather see them all renamed to 'former pupils', where there is no better 'Old Fooian' option. Per Necrothesp in February, "The English language doesn't lose a word just because one government decides to rename something!" JPL's claim that there was a clear choice indicated in February's no-consensus discussion is incorrect. Timrollpickering's creation of those new categories in the full knowledge that there was no agreement was quite unhelpful and has contributed to the mess, albeit done with good intentions, I'm sure.

The previous discussion was primarily about the Old Fooians form but the bulk of comments that addressed a clear form for at least the non-Old Fooians were for "People educated at".

Comment Occuli's evidence does show there is no overwhelming pro-pupil consensus. It, combined with Cjc13's vehement counter reactions shows that we need a more neutral term that everyone can come to accept, and "People educated at X" is clearly that. I also think that Good Ol'factory's comments on not wanting people to get the idea that "former X" is a good category form is very important. So it seems to me that People educated at X is a win, win, win.
John Pack Lambert (

Occuli's evidence related to some searches about exams. Those exams are taken not only by schoolchildren but also by people who have left school, so in that case students is the more general term and the more likely term to be used. These categories however refer specifically to schoolchildren, so the searches are not directly relevant.

Your evidence regarding the use of "pupil" is? Even Occuli's searches show evidence of usage of "pupil" for A-level and GCSE candidates (see also my comments above) and even if "student" is used by some secondary schools it does not make "pupil" incorrect.

Exactly. It's a huge list and there was no discussion to delete the supracat I've cited, as you point out. I don't see this move including Cat:African-American people by occupation' however, as 'African-American' is an ethnicity (perhaps arguably so), where 'Japanese American' is an ancestry (some Americans with Japanese ancestry, those who are first generation particularly, have Japanese ethnicity too - key point being
ancestry and
ethnicity are too different things)

Well, I think the discussion needs to be expanded to all affected categories simultaneously at the outset rather than one by one.

Certainly, Japanese Americans who experienced EO 9066 did develop a degree of ethnicity, that is collective identity as a group; and does every U.S. citizen of Black African ancestry have "African-American ethnicity" (however one would define or describe it?) Matters of ethnicity and identity in general are so personal, aren't they, and their definition can be so debatable. And sources are so few and far between (in part because of the personal nature of identity). I think (after looking at this for a few years now) that WP should stick to articles on Japanese-American experience, African-American experience, Kurd ethnicity/culture, Ainu ethnicity/culture, Basque ethnicity/culture, etc., etc. , and scrap the whole of category tree(s) for individual people by ancestry/ethnicity (and stick to just citizenship, to identify people to places through categories).

You are right too that discussion needs to happen where as many editors as possible can take part. But where? I guess the talk page for here, but few editors would happen upon the talk, I'm sure. Categories in general interest only a few editors, and those for ethnicity/ancestry, even fewer. So many editors work just within their area of interest and only get involved in categories that affect their area, once they are tagged, though categories, obviously, interconnect globally. (Not a criticism, just pointing out what happens) And with categories, those who want particular ones do largely for reasons of sentiment while those who don't want those same ones, don't care about them, are apathetic about them and therefore don't contribute to talk on deleting them. So the haphazard WP cat. trees go on, with
Category:American sportspeople of Filipino descent in existence and
Category:American sportspeople of Irish descent deleted, though the argument to delete the second equally applies to the first.

Comment "Japanese American" is clearly an ethnicity. "American people of Japanese descent" less clearly so. However I am of the opinion we should start applying rules for ethnicity instead of "descent" in these categories. This would mean to include people it is not enough to show that someone once did their geneology and showed they had an ancestor who landed in Charleston as a Chinese laudrman in 1870 and married a freedwoman. This would not effect how these categories are used in some cases, but it would probably force the removal of Barack Obama and a few others from the meriad of categories they are in. Of course if the person with the ancestry I mentioned before had actually proactively identified as being Chinese, tried to convince a San Francisco electorate to vote him into office as a Chinese person or something like that, it would be totally appropriate. Still Japanese Americans are an ethnicity and not just an "Ancestry". To make things more fun Japaneseness is one of approaximately 40 recognized racial classifications on the US census that one can mark by cheking a box (maybe there are not that many, but Japanese is one). True it is grouped as part of the super race of Asian, but it is a recognized race. In reality ethnicity, race and ancestry are all used in different nuances depending on context so to claim that either term is clearly distinct from another is impossible. They also have specific histories and are used in the social-historiacal context of the time and place of the speaker/writer.

Merge all into
Category:American people of Japanese descent. My main reasoning is that these categories have been used to haphazardlty and been built without any consideration of whether they meet the rules for ethnic intersection with both nationality and occupation. I think it would be much better to start them over with clearer consideration of the guidelines on these matters and with closer scrutiny to the applicable rules. There may even be a few people who need to be removed from the Japanese descent cat as it not really being significant to them, but due to the unique history of Japanese Americans with internment during World War II and the not totally unique situations of exclusion acts, refusal to naturalize immigrants, lynchings and anti-marrying white women laws putting people in this category with no good justification is probably less common than many other ancestry categories.

Keep. In addition to academics, other occupations are deserving of similar consideration as separate categories -- including writers, artists, film directors, journalists, musicians, and civil rights activists. -- The categories
American military personnel of Japanese descent and
American politicians of Japanese descent are also of particular importance because of the longstanding belief that Japanese Americans are somehow not 100 percent Americans.

Nominators rationale. I originally considered just nominating deleting this and upmerging
Category:Christian hynmwriters to being a subcat of
Category:Christian writers. However there is enough Christian pop music that there are clearly people who could fit here who are not hymn writers. Also there are some Christian related songs that might not be universally classified as hymns. Is "Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho" a hymn? My first guess would be no, but its author if known and if Christian (I am pretty sure the author was Christian and not Jewish) would fit here. I decided to go to religion-related, because this makes it clear we are both going for songwriters whose works clearly have religion content, but that we will include people who write things that are not strictly devotional in nature. We would after renaming have to go through and make sure everyone here really belongs, but that would not be that hard. I considered whether we could just prune it without renaming it, but the current name just leaves things to open to including pop-music performers who make their religion a matter of public knowledge. However we only want people in this cat whose religion is a direct factor within their songwritting. Even if someone here was the Archbishop of New York, if their songs were not religious in content, they would not belong.
