The reason for making this category "Alumni of Foo" is because the Pre-collegiate sounds so much like a descriptive modifier of alumni that I felt it was neccesary to make if clear that these were alumni of a specific sub-institution with the name Juilliard School Pre-collegiate Division. Whether Collegiiate should be capitalized I do not know. The biggest reason to create this category is that these people do not belong in Category:Juilliard School alumni. I am thinking they can and should be put in Cateogry:Juilliard School people, and am going to do that. However I am noting here why. People by universities and colleges is a category that exists not because there is anything that makes a person of a college a person of a college in a way that it would not apply to buildings, sheep or goats connected with the college, or research institutes, think tanks, publications, labs, fraternities founded there or many other things, but because we generally try to seperate people articles in their own categories, and if it did not exist Category:Harvard University among a few others would have way too many direct sub-categories and way too many articles categorized there. Alumni of Foo when Foo is a college/university implies that people studied at the college or university level. People of Foo is easily broad enough to include "People who studied at the pre-college level school associated with Foo" and also "People who were given honorary degrees by foo".John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
