Notability

Please be aware that Wikipedia articles cover only notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia. We consider evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention. The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles, but only whether the topic should have its own article.

In the case of organizations, an organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it.

If you have some affiliation with this organization, then you should review Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. We advise people who have an association with a topic not to write about it, due to the inherent difficulty in adhering to Wikipedia's required neutral point of view. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 01:31, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

more specifically

It is relatively uncommon for an individual church of synagogue or other religious congregation to be considered notable here--as is the case with many other community organizations. A case could be made for including them, as being an important cultural and education center in the area, and although I personally supported this in my early years at WP, the consensus was otherwise. The usual instances where one is accepted is when it is either a congregation of great historical importance in the area, or in a historic or otherwise notable building, especially an official national landmark.

The historic or other importance has to be shown by substantial third party references, just as was explained above. For the references in this article you had only, a long description of the Shul by one of its members--which is not independent, several of is own listings of services--which is neither substantial nor independent, and several mere listings. None of this is usable to show notability . I gather from the information in the references that this particular congregation is both small and new, and does not even have its own building. WP is not a directory--but we do normally as an exception provide lists of community institutions of some types, including synagogues, and Westmont is included in List of synagogues in the Greater Toronto Area. Some the ones in the list do have articles, and the ones I checked of them are either of historical significance for the development of Judaism in the area, or can otherwise be shown to be particularly important.
