Template talk:Colleges under National University in Bangladesh

List

Is there a reference showing that these, and only these, are the colleges listed as University colleges under National University? No need to add that to the template, just curious as to how this list was compiled. --Ragib

• Articles on colleges mention they are affiliated by the national university.And that might be the source.Furhter sources can be found on their website or online news edition (newspaper, banglapedia).--NAHID 12:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but aren't all degree colleges affiliated with the National university? I know someone who started a college himself (while being an undergrad himself), and got affiliation from NU. So, there *are* hundreds and hundreds of colleges that are affiliated with NU. This by itself doesn't merit a template. --Ragib 16:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Most of the colleges are older enough to get affiliation from NU.I think, not all the person own the colleges by themselves.The colleges have to prove better educational structure before getting affiliation from NU.--NAHID 17:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Any references/citations from NU about this? Also, any on the number of colleges that are under NU? Also, why is this titled "Public colleges" when Notre Dame isn't one? --Ragib 17:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Colleges under national university offers Higher Secondary and Degree (pass) programmes, as well as Honours and Masters.For your sources of NU you can check (NDC homepage) and (NDC on Banglapedia).Also, Kumudini college on (Banglapedia).Other sources can also be found here (see the 10th paragraph) and (NU). Other colleges (affiliated under NU) info also available there. The template can be moved to college instead of public college. --NAHID 19:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

According to Banglapedia [1], there were at least 462 degree colleges that are under NU. So, listing only a few on this template is misleading. --Ragib 19:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

But only few are exist here. I found a feature some thing like more..... at the bottom of some templates. If they are added here in future !!! (I doubt whether they can be added ) we could use that feature.--NAHID 19:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

All I am saying is that, this is different from the "List of public universities", which is a small enough list to have a nav template. But how do you decide what college out of the 462+ to include or exclude? Deciding that will be a POV. So, this template is not a good idea because, a) it is incomplete, and doesn't represent what it claims to be, b) is inherently POV via inclusion of only a few colleges, c) unmaintainable as a nav template with 400/500+ listings is better served via categories. --Ragib 19:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
