==Islam, Christianity, Palestine, and Taiwan stubs==

Last night I found that there already exist the following stubs: 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:Christianity-stub|Christianity-stub]]}}, 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:Islam-stub|Islam-stub]]}}, 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:Palestine-stub|Palestine-stub]]}}, and
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:Taiwan-stub|Taiwan-stub]]}}.

None of them had their corresponding stub categories, although I've now created the [[:Category:Islam-related stubs]] for the Islam stub. In taking a quick look at [[:Category:Religion stubs]], it looks like a large percentage of them could be moved to the Islam stub. Also, if you do a Google site search for Islam+stub, there are a fair number of plain stubs that could also be converted into Islam stubs. It also looks like a good percentage of [[:Category:Substubs]] may also be Islam stubs. In fact, my guess is that a fully populated Islam stub category might be rather large, so it might be a good idea to create a few subcategories now. I was thinking that an Islam-bio-stub would be a very good one to create, and possibly an Islam-geo-stub to be filled with articles like [[Islam in Canada]]. Other than creating some subcategories, I think that the Islam stub is ready to go "live".

On the other hand, I do wonder about the [[:Image:Ichthus.png|fish]] symbol for the Christianity stub. Although the [[Ichthys]] has been used as a minor symbol for Christianity for a long time (since the Roman catacombs?), at least here in the US the symbol has become fairly strongly associated with conservative [[born again]] Christian groups, so I think that image is potentially controversial and not neutral. It may be best to have a Christianity stub without any image at all. [[User:GK|gK]] [[User talk:GK|&iquest;?]] 03:13, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
