While quite a few provincial sports halls of fame have great, well-sourced articles written on them, I doubt whether this page would meet WP:GNG and/or WP:ORGIND.

Only source cited (the Hanson Dowell one) focusses on a particular inductee's achievements rather than the Hall of Fame itself. Not many other external sources on Google, either (https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/n-s-sport-hall-of-fame-announces-this-year-s-induction-list-1.5632332 is too short to provide much information).

Keep this does seem to have fewer articles about it than your average Provincial HOF, but I do think that it just passes WP:GNG per my source table here: snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 13:43, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

**Source assessment table:**
Source	Independent?	Reliable?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/nova-scotia-sports-hall-of-fame-seeks-new-home-1.5744791	While CBC is state-owned, it is independent in this matter	CBC is generally reliable	The article is wholly about the Hall of Fame	✔ Yes
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/halifaxs-temporary-sidney-crosby-exhibit-too-popular-to-close/article30360931/	The Globe and Mail is not affiliated with the Hall of Fame	Per WP:RSP the Globe and Mail is "A paper of record" considered to be generally reliable	The article is about an exhibition at the museum	✔ Yes
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/film-about-black-hockey-player-sparks-controversy-with-n-s-sport-hall-of-fame-1.5483378	Same as above per CBC	CBC is generally reliable	This article is about a controversy between the museum and a film about depictions of race related to the museum in the film.	✔ Yes

Lean Toward Keep There is definitely much room for improvement to the article but the topic has potential additional sources including a CTV article on the annual inductions (here), a Global News story about the museum's relocation (here), and, while it's an opinion piece, a column in the Port Hawkesbury paper arguing for why someone should be inducted which suggests notability (here). It's by no means a slam dunk though and the nominator is correct that media coverage is a little sparse. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:10, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - GNG is easily met per SIGCOV by CBC and CTV News. I found these by doing a basic google search, but I see they have been included in the source assessment table above already. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 17:56, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
