 * Delete unless someone demonstrates notability. Unlike other Jazz Halls of Fame, such as the notable and often quoted Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame, NJ Jazz Society and Rutgers's American Jazz Hall of Fame, or even Sally Bennett's museum named "Big Band Hall of Fame", Google books yield very few hits: six publications, none of which are about jazz. For example, Chu Berry's induction in 1984 is mentioned in a book on Wheeling, West Virginia, Yank Lawson is described as "a member of the" BBaJHoF in a travel guide of Missouri highways, and there is a reference to Quincy Jones's induction in 1988 in an Italian book on TV trivia. ---Sluzzelin talk  07:14, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I believe the article comes up just short. With only one reference, it becomes clear the Hall of Fame has little notability.-- LAA  Fan  21:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
