08 nominee section

[edit]

Since the 09 inductees have been announced, the list of 08 nominees is obsolete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkendr (talkcontribs) 13:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notable?

[edit]

Okay, it's probably notable, if it ever turns out to actually exist, but right now it appears to be comprised entirely of a website run by this Bruce Dumont guy. The article definitely gives the impression that this is some building that one can visit, much like one could visit the Rock'n'Roll HOF or Baseball HOF, and should probably be corrected to reflect the fact that currently, this "Hall of Fame" is entirely in the imagination of one man. Which COULD be a strike against it in terms of notability. I mean, I could start a website and claim to be the American Radio Hall of Fame; how would that be any different than this one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.71.69.114 (talk) 20:15, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is an old comment but probably still valid. There's no third-party citations for all of the main info on this page. Although a quick Google search does turn up that the "radio hall of fame" will apparently be opening, the article definitely needs some reliable third-party-sourced info.ArchieOof (talk) 19:25, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is notable now. The place definitely does exist, and the article has been updated accordingly. There are plenty of sources cited. Bruce Dumont is gone. The museum, or rather, a gallery, is a permanent location, on the second floor of the Museum of Broadcasting at a fixed address in Chicago. There have been industry-chosen inductees and publicly-voted inductees each year since 2015. The 2018 vote was during June, with awards in November. I think the article, and the organization, has been improved a lot since both prior comments. (As of 2009 and 2011, they were valid, in my opinion!) I am going to clean up the article, as there are bare links and other poor formatting here and there.--FeralOink (talk) 14:09, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

[edit]

It is no longer the National Radio Hall of Fame. The current name, as reflected at the official website, is the Radio Hall of Fame. All its old links, including nationalradiohalloffame, now redirect to http://www.radiohalloffame.com/. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:28, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
