Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh/Categorization
The existing categorization of Bangladesh related topics doesn't look very systematic. Here's a proposed categorization scheme for Bangladesh related topics. True, categorization of other major countries are no better, but that should not stop us to clean-up the categorization for Bangladesh.
The idea for this scheme comes from different sources. The directory structure on Bangladesh project page and List of Bangladesh-related topics were of particular help.
The assumptions are:
- Same article may be added to several categories as appropriate. Example: the Article on Khaleda Zia may be added to: Notable Bangladeshi Politician, Notable Bangladeshi Muslims and Notable people from Feni district.
- Same subcategory may be added to several master categories. Example: "Financial Institutions in Bangladesh" is added to both: "Economy of Bangladesh" and "Bangladeshi Organizations by field of operation".
- Articles may be added to a master category or a subcategory under it - but not both. For example the Article Bangladesh should be linked to Master Category "Bangladesh Related Topic by Subject" - but not to any of its subcategories. On the other hand the article on Economy of Bangladesh should be mapped to "Economy of Bangladesh" but neither to any of its subcategories, nor to the master category "Bangladesh Related Topic by Subject".
The Category "Bangladesh" is proposed to branch out to 4 sub-categories. No article should be directly linked to category Bangladesh. The 4 subcategories are:
- Bangladesh Related Topic by Subject
- Bangladesh Related Topic by Quality
- Bangladesh Related Topic by Importance
- Bangladesh Related Images
Bangladesh Related Topic by Subject
Only one article should be directly linked to this master category - the article on Bangladesh. All other articles must go to any of the six proposed subcategories:
- Bangladeshi People
- Economy of Bangladesh
- Geography of Bangladesh
- History of Bangladesh
- Society of Bangladesh
- Organizations in Bangladesh
Bangladeshi People
The only article that I can think of directly linking to this category is a possible future article on "Bangladeshi People". All other articles related to Bangladeshi individuals should be linked to one or more sub-categories under following 3 branches.
Bangladeshi People by occupation
Subcategories by major occupation. e.g.
- Bangladeshi Politician
- Bangladeshi Teacher
- Bangladeshi Author
- Bangladeshi Journalist etc.
Bangladeshi People by district of origin
Subcategory for 64 districts. e.g.
- Notable people from Dhaka district
- Notable people from Chittagong district etc.

- Upazilas under Dhaka District
- Parliament constituencies under Dhaka district
- Localities under Dhaka district
- Notable people from Dhaka district
- Organizations based in Dhaka district
