Portland is not Unique[edit]

Etz Chaim (meaning tree of life) is the name given to various synagogues around the world. I am happy for a US one to have its own page, but it should be Etz Chaim Synagogue, Portland, as is done with churches and mosques. Wikipedia is international, not USA.

So far, there is only one Etz Chaim Synagogue that has a standalone article with multiple, independent sources on Wikipedia. When another article exists, we can then discuss creating a disambiguation page. The way you created the page is not how it is done on Wikipedia.--TM 17:50, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As we see on Etz Chaim "Etz Chaim is a common name for yeshivas and synagogues". As this appears to be your project, I suggest you move it to Etz Chaim Synagogue, Portland and check the links. This will allow other places with the same name as Wikipedia expands its coverage. Ultimately there should be list pages as there are for Etz Chaim Yeshiva (disambiguation), Jama Masjid and Makkah Masjid. Chemical Engineer (talk) 18:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If another Etz Chaim Synagogue is notable, let's have the discussion then. Right now, this is the only Etz Chaim Synagogue with an article on Wikipedia so there is nothing to disambiguate. Please read policy on this.--TM 23:32, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
