Hostel?

If the hostel is not part of the Chabad house it probably makes less sense to open the article with "Mumbai Chabad House is a Chabad house and hostel". No? --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 19:54, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Epson291 (talk) 21:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After further analysis of the AFP source, is seems that the hostel is not a part of the Chabad House. I'm not sure what exactly its connection is to the Chabad house. It looks like the Chabad house is in the Nariman Building or the Nariman House which includes other entities two of which are the Chabad house and the hostel. It is also possible that the Chabad house owns the whole building. If that's the case, the hostel probably has a strong connection to the Chabad house and would merit inclusion in the article's lede.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 23:20, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

move again

"Mumbai Chabad House" gets 738 ghits and 36 ghits in Google News while "Nariman House" gets 22,700 ghits and 3,934 Google News. Whether the news sources are right or wrong in the naming of the building shouldn't make a difference. Due to the news sources, it is the name that it is known by thus it must be the name of the article. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:07, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Google news for "Chabad House" Mumbai - 2,084 results, (example picture), "Nariman House" Mumbai 4,146 results, the news sources are clearly using both. But here's the thing. The synagogue it self isn't called Nariman House, so should this article be on the synangogue, or the building complex, when it is one of the few shuls in Mumbai and therefore pretty notable, and when the attack was cleary directed against the Chabad House and not the building itself. I think it should be kept at the Chabad house name, or prehaps Chabad House in Mumbai or Chabad House (Mumbai). Epson291 (talk) 21:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
