What is the crieterion for assigning cities in Bangladesh? As far as I know, most of these "cities" here are designated as "towns" by the government, and that too isn't an official designation. It could be a list of metropolitan areas in Bangladesh or municipalities in Bangladesh or something like that. It is not acceptable that Bhola town (pop. 39,964) should be cited as a city in a country of 140 million people. I think this article deserves an "AfD", or atleast a serious "cleanup". - Aditya Kabir 17:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. AfD was too harsh and thoughless. Agreed. Besides there are city lists for all countries on WP, there is no reason why Bangladesh shouldn't have one. But, the rest of your argument is wrong, very much. Let me explain, please:
Therefore, I re-present my original proposal - a list of metropolitan areas in Bangladesh or municipalities in Bangladesh or something like that. And, that would require - a serious "cleanup" - as per my original proposal. You keep the title of the article, but at least, you could clear up things in the heads and sub-heads. I also propose to cleanup "BDeshCities" template to conform to "official" standards. Sincerely yours - Aditya Kabir 06:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Per request, I have added an outline of a list which can be populated. → AA ( talk) — 11:46, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Most of the town names in this list link to articles on districts. This is misleading. In many cases, there is no article on the town listed, but rather an article on the district centred on that town. I would argue that most of the towns listed should either not be linked or be redlinked. Marco polo ( talk) 01:44, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Population figures would be very helpful; I don't think there's a list of cities by population for the country. If these sections were made into a single table, it could be sorted by either division or population, depending on what the reader was interested in. -- Beland ( talk) 18:37, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
The photos make for nice illustrations, but they make the table harder to read. Perhaps some could be move to the side of the table, and the rest dropped? Wizmut ( talk) 08:22, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
