[edit] Rename

This article needs to be renamed. First it is punctuated incorrectly. There should be no apostrophe in the title since there is no ownership being shown. I think it should be renamed as Swaminarayan Sampraday Temples or Temples in the Swaminarayan Sampraday.--Juthani1 (talk) 19:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

A Swaminarayan Sampraday temple is known as Shri Swaminarayan Mandir or Shri Swaminarayan Temple, so on that front I dont think it should be renamed, Wheredevelsdare (talk) 00:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

The plural of Temple is Temples, i.e. there is no apostrophe. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:12, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
