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:
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
...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.

Cameroon has an actual political subdivision called a subdivision. It is the next step down from division, and two steps down from province. Therefore, this categorization scheme does not work for Cameroon. There are currently no articles on Cameroon's subdivisions, but
Category:Subdivisions of Cameroon should be for potential articles like
Yokadouma subdivision, not a catch all for Cameroon's provinces, divisions, and subdivisions.
