NGOs in Bangladesh

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A list like this ends up being a place for these NGOs to promote themselves. As the article says, "number of NGOs in Bangladesh in excess of 20,000" and "Here some NGO are categorized according to their main area of work but the categorization is not accurate". This is a list that will never be complete and accurate. As of right now, some NGOs are listed multiple times on the page, and many have external links to the organization websites. In addition, there is already a Category:Non-governmental organisations based in Bangladesh so it would reduce the amount of spam from non-notable NGOs if the major ones are included in the Category.

 * We don't redirect from article to category. Delete since the list will be too big and promotional. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 00:14, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted as their is no prohibition on redirecting an article to a category, so this needs a little more examination. Courcelles 01:41, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as there is an excessively massive "universal set" for this list. I think focused lists of Non-Governmental Organizations might work: List of environmental NGOs in Bangladesh, but without some sort of narrowing of inclusion criteria there is no utility or functionality to a list. Imagine trying to derive benefit as a Wikipedia user from an amorphous blob called List of private companies in the United States and you'll understand the issue...
