Talk:Man Machine Poem Tour

Content
While as a Canadian I entirely understand the reasons why this tour would be eligible for a standalone article about it, as currently written and sourced this article fails to actually explain them to the uninitiated. Wikipedia's rules for the notability of a concert tour do not entitle it to a standalone article if that article consists solely of a list of the tour venues, and is sourced only to minimal RS confirmation that the tour happened — the content and sourcing necessary to demonstrate it as more notable than the norm have to already be present in the article before it can be kept as a standalone article. Those things obviously do exist in this particular case, which is why I'm not arbitrarily redirecting or AFDing it right now, but anybody else who doesn't already have that background knowledge about it could still deem it deletable or redirectable as long as that content isn't present and sourced in the article as written.

Things the article does need to touch on, accordingly, include the scalper crisis, the way the media coverage went wildly beyond the level of most concert tours, the national broadcast of the Kingston show and its blowout ratings. Bearcat (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
