Renaming discussion
With the CfD discussion on renaming being filed under "no consensus", I suggest we attempt to create one here.
Obviously there is a problem with the categories "Subdivisions of Foo". As I see it, we should rename to a single term which does feel natural and is also correct. Distilling from the discussion on CFD, there are three options:
- Administrative divisions of Foo
- Political divisions of Foo
- Country subdivisions of Foo
Any options I've missed? The Minister of War 08:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- i changed your proposal to "Country subdivisions of Foo". You missed the option to use
- Subdivisions of Foo
since Foo is a country it might be regarded unecessary to have the word country in the lead. We furthermore need to think about:
- Historical ...divisions of Foo
- Former ...divisions of Foo
- ...divisions of historic countries
"..." means "Administrative" / "Political" / "Sub" / "Country Sub" Tobias Conradi (Talk) 12:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- The qualifier doesn't have to be "sub-", but I oppose the suggested move to "administrative". Since some divisions are not administrative or political, e.g. landscapes, regions, districts, metropolitan regions, and villages, I think it shouldn't be "administrative" or "political". And since many divisions are modern and current, e.g. states, counties, provinces, boroughs, municipalities, towns, and cities, I think it shouldn't be "historical" or "former". How about
- "geographical" or
- "geographical and administrative"?

...divisions of Myanmar, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan
For these countries there exists the term "administrative" division for a specific type of subdivisions. E.g. The administrative divisions of Myanmar consist of (administrative) divisions and states. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 14:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
