Category talk:Private schools in the United States

Private Schools in the U.S.

Recently I tried in vain to preserve the categories "Private Schools in the United States" and "Private Schools in Maryland" for the Park School of Baltimore. An officious deletionist would allow no category but "Private schools in Baltimore County". I gave up. This deliberately obtuse person insisted that since there existed this narrow category of "Private schools in Baltimore County", it was wrong to list the school under "Private Schools in the United States" and "Private Schools in Maryland". I'm lucky there wasn't a category called "Private Schools in northern Baltimore County starting with the letter P and rhyming with ark."

Now, as an experiment, I have gone through the top level of Category:Private schools in the United States and removed every school that can be listed under "Private schools in [state name]". I'm just wondering if it will make everyone else as annoyed as I was - or am I the only one who minds this kind of thing? MdArtLover 13:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
