Talk:Songwriters Hall of Fame

message: This massive list of names is not helpful, and my guess is being abused, with names just being added without actually being in the Hall of Fame, as the list may be perceived as a Wikipedia Hall of Fame.  Unless someone has a better idea, we probably need to scrap it and start over,  only adding names if we have a specific year that they were inducted, and/or a reference proving that they're official. --Elonka 18:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page reformatting needed 

message: This article was completely unreadable as a blob of text, why was this not done before?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.144.89 (talk) 03:30, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reformatted 

message: This article is written like a (low-class) advertisement for the SHF. I enjoy the very informative website, but there's not much here about the organization. Lots of unsubstantiated claims are made, for which I added templates requesting more specifics. Who gets these scholarships, which schools do they go to, how helpful are they to their careers? If there's really a " New York City, United States" office ... WHERE is it? In a parking garage in Bensonhurst?If the SHF is "an arm" of the National Academy of Popular Music (the only reference there is dead today), what are the other "arms" of the NAPM, formed in 1988 by Sammy Cahn and Bob Leone, and how did the SHF (apparently founded in 1969 by Johnny Mercer and two publishers) become an arm? The SHF's About page is more helpful. Really ... enquiring minds want to know!Good thing this article is 'unrated', I'd rate it 'Flop'. Twang (talk) 21:55, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambiguous about the subject 

message: At Johnny Mercer Award, it shows Michael Jackson as being the 2002 receipient. However, the relevant cites () show Carole King as the 2002 recipient, and no mention of Jackson 1981–2011 and 1980–2018, respectively. The current site confirms Carole King as the 2002 recipient and their Michael Jackson profile says he was inducted in 2002, but has no mention of additional awards. There doesn't seem to be a place in the article for inductees that have not received additional awards (or I would have just moved it). Are there more of these? Do we need another section? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 21:51, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Let's fix 2002 Johnny Mercer award recipient. A new section isn't necessary since we have the List of Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees. Richard Hendricks (talk) 13:28, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Towers of Song/Happy Birthday 

message: The article claims it has no televised event, however in 2004 The Songwriter's Hall of Fame Ceremony was televised.  
Here is the IMDB link.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423231/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
There was only one year, and it was likely to capitalize on Rob Thomas receiving the first presented as the Starlight Award in 2004, as well as Daryl Hall and John Oates being inducted, and Stevie Wonder receiving the Johnny Mercer Award.
Not sure how to add this, but the article definitely needs revising.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9000:DF06:E700:B94B:6D0C:18B4:8910 (talk) 09:31, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
