Toy Collector Hall of Fame

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not a notable event or organization. Only references to its own website are present, and no coverage found. Different from the National Toy Hall of Fame. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:05, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do not agree and suggest to wait The Hall has no connection to the National Toy Hall of Fame which is for children's toys. TCHOF celebrates the best in Pop Culture and has some amazing Inductee such as Todd McFarlane and Stan Lee. I recently became its Chair (which could create some bias) with some big plans for 2018. There are currently planned stories on NBC, Pop Insider and The Nerdist on the Hall. I suggest you pause this discussion for 3 months and them come back to the subject, by that time there will be lots of 3rd party references to this major pop culture institution.

First, I specifically said it is different from that Hall of Fame, which is what the search results I found were about. Second, if significant coverage isn't going to happen for three months, the article can be moved to draft space (or your userspace), and restored after that coverage happens; note WP:CRYSTAL. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:43, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find that much in a WP:BEFORE search, just some press releases. I'm also wary about draftifying an article to someone with a clear though disclosed and unpaid COI. SportingFlyer talk 04:13, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point re the COI (I thought I kept the text fact based, basically a list of inductee. Joschik (talk) 23:27, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not a place to promote things, especially if you aren't going to be open & honest about it. Exemplo347 (talk) 14:29, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand where the "promote" and "honest" aspects are coming in, I think the text is factual Joschik (talk) 23:27, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are four references, two of which are primary, the other two of which is trivial (just a slight mention in the last sentence of a long article, and the wrestling one only two sentences long.) The text may be factual but the reliance on primary sources shows this fails WP:GNG, and a broader search on the topic doesn't bring up enough secondary sources to show notability. The reliance on the primary sources also means there appears to be some promotional elements. It's not necessarily malicious, but the standards are not met.
