[edit] Recommended precaution

Another of Striver's creations. It refers, obliquely, to a fine point of Islamic law. Should be put into Sharia. Zora 21:23, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Why did you not do the same to this articles:

not delet for the same reason that the above should not be deleted. --Striver 00:18, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

  • keep. Not all Islamic denominations have exactly the same "Sharia". This article, along with many other fundamental Shi'a terms, should be kept separate.--Zereshk 03:44, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP. For the same reason as Zereshk

Well, we have the Shi'a contingent here saying to keep, in solidarity.

Regarding Striver's first point, re articles for various Arabic technical terms -- I presume that those articles are there because someone found them as technical terms in English books/articles/whatever, and felt that they should have an explanation. I gather that some editors feel very strongly that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and would argue that any one-sentence articles on Islamic technical terms should be moved into the Wiktionary. Or they might be better in the List of Arabic terms article, whatever it's called. But I don't think the matter is urgent because the titles of the articles are so obviously foreign-language-technical-terms. No one is going to be confused.

However, "Recommended precautions" is a completely opaque and misleading title. If I google on it, I get 2,430,000 hits. 99.99% of which have nothing to do with sharia. So, the title is completely wrong. Could the content be slotted somewhere else? Yup, it is just a stub and could be put into Sharia easily. So why have an article with a misleading title and no content? Zora 21:38, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
