Some initial notes[edit]

I've used the title "Sydney Bahá'í Temple" as this seems to be the most familiar name (e.g. on its Facebook page). I will add redirects to "Sydney Bahá'í House of Worship" and various other names (as well as to the same names spelled without the accents). If other editors think it should be moved to a different name that could be done. That said, I don't really like "Bahá'í House of Worship (Ingleside, New South Wales)" - the format used for the Wilmette/Chicago temple - because it's cumbersome and unfamiliar (and there is a policy saying the page should have the familiar name, with the more formal one in the first line of text).

Acknowledgement as per WP policy: I borrowed and heavily edited text from Bahá'í Faith in Australia, Bahá'í House of Worship, and Lotus Temple.

I haven't listed a size for the property because sources disagree, e.g. Hassall in Jupp's encyclopedia, Iranica, and the temple's own site (all linked on the page) give three different sizes. If somebody knows what the different numbers are referring to then by all means add it to the article. But don't just add one without justification.
