[edit] Originally from my talk page
[edit] Religion portals
I've noticed you've created quite a plethora of religion-based portals. In accordance with the conventions currently being discussed at WPT:P, I would like you to confirm that you intend to maintain all of these portals (I believe at least 6 are accredited to you at present), and that you intend to improve them in order to bring them up to the standard that is requested and required in order to maintain their presence in the namespace. While major religions are fairly high-volume and require suitable portals, several of the recent ones you have made are fairly irrelevant and definitely not high volume. While you have clearly put work into their creation, I feel obliged to let you know that several are liable to be removed from the namespace unless they demonstrate their necessity through extensive links either by articles or through the category system.
Finally, I must also point out that most of your portals are not listed at either WP:P or Portal:Browse, both of which are requirements stated at WP:P. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss these matters further.

[edit] Religion Portals
Someone said that he will delete the religious portals I set up if I don't do this and that. Will you please update the religious portals to confirm to whatever standards. Also, please help maintain the portals. Any advice, suggestions, etc are appreciated. Maybe I shouldn't have wasted my time with creating the portals. While creating the portals, I ensured that all information was accurate. These are the religious portals I established. -> Islam · Buddhism · Hinduism · Sikhism · Bahá'í Faith · Jainism · Shinto · Confucianism · Taoism · Zoroastrianism --JuanMuslim 1m 21:21, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Update
How long should each of the sections in the Portal be updated? DaGizza Chat 06:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Festivals section
This constantly needs to be updated. It will be good if a sub-page with a comprehensive list is created so it is easier to update. GizzaChat © 11:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- maybe List of Hindu festivals?--Dangerous-Boy 17:57, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

- I started making a separate list for Hindu festivals. Click the above link.--Dangerous-Boy 23:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Temple pictures
If possible, please someone upload good quality major temple pictures like Akshardham and Tirupati with proper Licensing. These pictures are required in many Hinduism, India and religion related articles. Thanks. - Holy Ganga talk

[edit] Category:Dharmic Religion stubs proposed for deletion
Category:Dharmic Religion stubs has been nominated for deletion (see the discussion. The principal argument offered for deletion is that the category currently contains only 4 articles. A number of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism etc. stubs deal with topics that are common to all Dharmic religions. These stubs might be profitably moved to Category:Dharmic Religion stubs rather than those of a specific religion. If you have opinions on whether any particular stub article should be recategorized, or whether you would approve of a recategorization on your behalf, please discuss at Category talk:Dharmic religions#Category:Dharmic Religion stubs proposed for deletion. --BostonMA talk 01:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- This category was kept and renamed to Category:Dharmic religion stubs. ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 16:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Selected Hindu ?
Perhaps the section title should be changed from "Selected Hindu" to "Selected biography". The latter sound better to me and leaves open the option of including non-Hindu figures who may have played an important role with respect to Hinduism, e.g. Max Muller, or Theosophists like Annie Besant, Jiddu Krishnamurti etc. Abecedare 19:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
