[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 21:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Virtues in Daoism?
Not about the portal as such, but a question on the content: The virtues attributed to "de" seem Confucian rather than Daoist. /Bero
- Definitly. Balance, harmony, equanimity, are more spot on.--Pietrosperoni 04:01, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Not quite, similar they are but not the same. Confucius was a student of Taosim before he came out and started preaching the wisdom in the Analects which became a school of thought in its own right. Alex Chua 21 Feb06
- That Confucius was a student of Lao Zi's is ancient but nevertheless Daoist propaganda, don't be deceivedBerox 22:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

- Propaganda? Hardly. alex
The claim of a strong connection between the origins of Taoism and Confucianism, both in Portal:Taoism (Did you know?) and in Portal talk:Taoism, is totally unsupported (in spite of Alex' "hardly" reply). Miguel de Servet 23:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
