Talk:Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple

Notability
Sankat mochan hanuman is part of name of Lord Hanumaan, and there would be millions of temples in India with this name. I think, Sankat mochan hanuman temple article is completely unnecessary and with no potential for development either.

 * I created the article since the temple was assosiated with blasts that occured today. Please read this BBC article. The temple has a history assosiated with it. I feel it is notable enough. If you still otherwise, fine with me. - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 23:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I admit that temple was associated with blast but in current state article doesn't provide any new inoformation not contained in the article for blast. If you think that historical aspects of temple can be elaborated upon, article can be kept, otherwise it is useless stub in my view. BBC article informs of Tulsidas's association with the temple but doesn't delve into much history either. Lastly, if article is kept, given that it can be enhanced, I would strongly urge to change the title to inclue Varanasi in it, Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, Varanasi.

 * I am a strong believer that stubs eventually expand. A one-liner article still deserves to exist. I have already added the city to the title. Thanks for understanding. - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 00:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Requested name change
A request was made to move Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple (Varanasi) here, but I think that it is correct that this article link to that one per Disambiguation.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)   19:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No. The usual convention with placenames (unlike other dabs) is that they are disambiguated with commas rather than parentheses - see WP:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names). This is backed up by specific guidance on temple names from the Hinduism project : Wikipedia_talk:Hinduism-related_topics_notice_board/Archive_5 (as I indicated in my edit summary).FlagSteward (talk) 11:24, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you point out the guidance for this in WP:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names) or in any other naming convention guideline page? I do not see the Hinduism noticeboard linking to any guideline on this either.  Blue Rasberry    (talk)   14:18, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I know it's a bit fuzzy, but I take "With the names of cities, towns, villages and other settlements, as well as administrative divisions, the tag is normally preceded by a comma" to mean not just settlement articles, but articles where a settlement/administrative division is being used as the disambiguating tag. If you wanted to formalise it, you could say that when a settlement/administrative division is being used to dab the result is akin to a short-form address. In English the natural way to write addresses is with commas, and so you could view the comma version as the WP:COMMONNAME compared to the parenthetic version. Sure, the Hinduism project hasn't got round to formalising it in a guideline but that discussion seems to represent consensus among the relevant Project, and has been quoted previously in relation to the naming of this article.FlagSteward (talk) 15:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
