[edit] Article name change?

I don't think the article name is a good one. There are certainly multiple Shrine (or Shriners) Auditoriums in the US, and while this one is likely the most well-known one, there are certainly others. I can see two possible solutions: one is to make a generic article, and the other (which I prefer) is to rename this Shrine Auditorium (Los Angeles). MSJapan (talk) 21:00, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Agree with changing the name to "Shrine Auditorium (Los Angeles)". There are indeed multiple Shrine Auditoriums ... there is one in Jacksonville, Fl. (see here), and one near Boston, MA (see here), just to cite two. The auditorium in LA is by far the most famous, having hosted the Accadamy Awards and other notable events, and as such deserves its own article... but it is hardly the only "Shrine Auditorium".
