Finiteness conjecture for nonmodular orbifold Q-subcanonical Shimura curves

Let XΓX_\Gamma be a Shimura curve, and call it orbifold Q\mathbb{Q}-subcanonical when its orbifold canonical divisor has the corresponding Q\mathbb{Q}-subcanonical property.

Finiteness conjecture. There are only finitely many orbifold Q\mathbb{Q}-subcanonical Shimura curves, up to isomorphism, over C\mathbb{C} that are not modular curves.

This is motivated by the known finiteness of hyperelliptic Shimura curves; the claim concerns the nonmodular Shimura curves, which have no cusps.
