As far as I know, these can only be used in a few set phrases and aren't adjectives on their own. DTLHS (talk) 01:36, 21 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Delete per nom. Besides Hall of Fame, also wall, house, walk, ring. Planes of Fame is a shift in the structure of the use of the expression with the first noun in the NP being not the possibly figurative place, but rather the class of entities that could be members. There may be others of this type. Nevertheless, such a usage seems to fit with meanings of of, whether or not we have the appropriate definition yet. DCDuring TALK 19:52, 21 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
