Talk:Football Hall of Fame

Old Talk

Why are most these names in all caps? Atorpen 05:03 Jan 25, 2003 (UTC)

They're not anymore, I think they were copied form some official site where they are capitalised. Ams80 19:08 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

It looks a lot better. Good work. The shouting hurt my ears, too. Bluelion 00:49 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)

Why is this page calledFootball Hall of Fame instead of Pro Football Hall of Fame which if I'm not mistaken is the official name. Otherwise how am I to know if this is the Canadian Football Hall of Fame or some Hall of Fame of Association Football (Soccer)? Or am I to assume if it doesn't have a qualifier it is American? - Stoltz

It needs to be renamed. I guess most codes and associations have a "Hall of Fame", Australian Football certainly does. The only question is what to rename it to. American football hall of fame? Pro football hall of fame? Tannin

Pro Football Hall of Fame which, I believe, as does Stoltz, is the official name. Bluelion 11:27 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

But isn't this the most famous one by far, making this case similar to why London, England is at London? What other famous examples are there that also use the above name? --mav

I'm not aware of any in Australia. Sounds an unlikely term for people in the UK to use. Guess that leaves the States. Tannin

I thought articles were supposed to be named by common usage. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is, in common usage, called the Pro Football Hall of Fame, not the Football Hall of Fame. The Football Hall of Fame is something that I, personally, have never heard of. London is commonly called London, so naming an article London makes sense. Using the title Football Hall of Fame, which I have never heard anyone use, does not make sense to me. Bluelion 00:49 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)

Their official website even uses "pro" in its URL. -- Zoe
