Masonic Temple (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unnecessary disambiguation page. "Masonic Temple" is not an ambiguous term. The list of specific buildings given here is, firstly, inappropriate for a disambig page, and secondly, duplicated on List of Masonic buildings. Delete per WP:SETINDEX. Snotty Wong  talk 23:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Read what you just linked. At WP:SETINDEX you are given Signal Mountain as an example. The disambiguation has a listing of all mountains named Signal Mountain and a link to a list page. you basically defeated your own point. PeRshGo (talk) 23:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * There is an obvious difference. A disambiguation page exists to allow users to navigate to articles which all have the same or similar names.  Since there are multiple entities named "Signal Mountain", a disambig page in this case is warranted.  There are not, however, multiple entities named "Masonic Lodge".  There are multiple entities which fall into the category of Masonic Lodge (i.e. they can be described as a Masonic lodge), but this is not the same thing.  Using your logic, we would have a disambiguation page for Human which lists every BLP article in Wikipedia.    Snotty Wong   talk 00:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * See that's the problem. They are all named Masonic Temple. That is their name. That is how the NRHP lists them. People have tried to include in the dab page links to articles that just happen to BE Masonic Temples but those should be weeded out rather than the page be deleted.
