Talk:List of halls and walks of fame

Article name
The name of this article should be List of halls and walks of fame and not List of Halls and Walks of Fame. There's no need for the capitalization. --Tysto 20:58, 2005 August 29 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request.

Category
Why is this article in Category:Lists of structures? I'm not sure a Walk of Fame qualifies as a structure, and a Hall of Fame is often figurative. Powers T 14:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Existing Wikipedia pages
This is a Wikipedia list, not a catch-all for every hall and walk of fame the world over. Those halls/walks which have their own Wikipedia pages, demonstrating both individual initiative and consensus acceptance by the Wikipedia community of editors, have been retained on the list. Those which have not have been deleted. They may be added to the list when they have established a page of their own. Wikiuser100 (talk) 17:37, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Inclusion criteria
 * Building on Wikiuser100's, either a Wikipedia article, or an independent reliable source significantly discussing the hall or walk, is required for inclusion in this list. List inclusion criteria are required to be clear and on-policy, per WP:LIST. --Lexein (talk) 13:19, 30 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I created an edit notice for the page to alert editors to the inclusion criteria. Wikipedia articles do not normally discuss Wikipedia editing guidelines like notability. --Orlady (talk) 13:52, 30 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, and fair point. I think we can use the word notable, just not too Wikipedia-y, followed by a "discussed in published literature" or some such. WP:LIST is a harsh mistress, wanting disclosure of the criteria so readers know what they're getting, without quoting policy. Heh.--Lexein (talk) 14:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Break off Ice hockey
There are at least three different ice hockey halls of fame in the Other Sports section. These should in their own category in the list. Additionally, the IIHF Hall of Fame is missing ( which has its own wiki page. ) Ennisj (talk) 19:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Merge?
This article could easily be merged into Hall of fame to form one stand-alone list article. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:22, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I think that this list is long enough currently to warrant its own article. Zell Faze (talk) 21:39, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, but this does not really have a lead section that would be adequent if, for example, someone wanted it to turn this into a Wikipedia featured list. Merging both pages would provide this. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:57, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Support merge. I have created a lead section for this list, and there is now no reason to keep a separate article as it currently simply duplicates information. If at some point in the future someone wants to write a detailed general article on halls of fame, then it can be split out at that time.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  09:20, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The merge should be Hall of fame to List of halls and walks of fame.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  09:23, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I suuport a merge and recommend a WP:BARD to accomplish. But given the long delay in doing anything, I've simply changed the "Types" section to a see also section and removed the old merge tags.  – S. Rich (talk) 07:45, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

List entry notes and inclusion
I noticed that some entries on the lists have parenthetic notes. For example:
 * National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (U.S.)
 * Australian Basketball Hall of Fame (formerly NBL Hall of Fame)
 * Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame (est. 2002)
 * Las Vegas Walk of Stars (Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.)
 * Łódź Walk of Fame (film)(pl) (Piotrkowska Street, Łódź, Poland)

I can understand it's good to give some disambiguation from "national", to identify country for one which might not be internationally recognizable, or to note a name change or merger. But in some cases it doesn't seem necessary and I feel like the list could get clogged if we put in establishment dates (other than the early historical ones in the lead).

There are also a couple like:
 * Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (for people) – simply an award, doesn't have a HOF and not called a HOF
 * Monument Park (Yankee Stadium) – I understand this one's inclusion, but the article never refers to it as an HOF and I feel this could be a slippery slope to allow any collection of plagues and/or statues. By this logic, Mount Rushmore could be listed as a HOF for US Presidents, along with any number of other memorials.
 * Women Divers Hall of Fame – no citation, no article. Is mentioned in 27 articles, so possibly some potential for an article.

A few of the entries at Women's Hall of Fame (a dab page) are also listed here, but most are not. Is there any reason for excluding them from these lists?

Thoughts? – Reidgreg (talk) 18:29, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

U.S. Capitol
Doesn't this belong under Halls of Fame? Each state sending statues of its two most distinguished citizens. deisenbe (talk) 13:46, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Section of an article
Does a section of an article qualify for a link inclusion on this list article? Example: American Contract Bridge League Hall of Fame. Newwhist (talk) 15:54, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Help needed to split out a big new section
Hi, in these two edits I just added a too-long-for-this-list-article section on writers' halls of fame. For whatever reasons, I cannot myself split that out into a separate article where it belongs. Could someone else please split it out, or simple create List of writers' halls of fame (currently a redlink) with nothing or just one word or such in it, so that I can do the proper splitting? This would resolve an impasse at Draft:List of writers' halls of fame where I composed the material, but where I can't make anyone put it into mainspace, although IMHO it is obviously fine as a list-article that is a subarticle to this great list. BONUS: you can appear to be the author of the new article! --Doncram (talk,contribs) 00:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC) P.S. (User:BusterD, you don't have to be the one to step in, but since we were chatting elsewhere just now I wonder if you'd be willing to, i.e. just create a one-word article so I can do the editing work to make it right. No problem if you don't want to. --doncram)
