Babymetal World Tour 2014

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no in-depth coverage of this tour (not individual concerts, but tour) that make this notable per WP:NTOUR. It happened, and we know it, and we could possibly have a sentence or two in the main article, but this was not a notable tour. Drmies (talk) 18:34, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes notability points and sources are highly valid. Any world tour has to be big, and the venues are arenas which makes it a huge venture. To merge all the information onto the Babymetal article would be too long and too offtopic since it was acknowledging a tour. Choicerpex (talk) 19:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I looked at other bands and pretty much all the tours of a big band are seemingly articled separately like this — like their albums or even singles. Doesn't Babymetal have hundreds of millions of views on Youtube? I don't know if the tours really need their own articles but it does seem to be the standard. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 04:34, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. The sources in the article currently look to be mostly about the DVD release.  Google News has a bunch of hits, but the English-language ones don't seem to be too compelling.  For example,  from The Independent, which is basically just an announcement.  There's also  from The Guardian, which, at the very bottom of the article, says they're the youngest act to play at Budokan.  I don't really think that's enough.  I'm a bit reluctant to outright vote to delete, though, because I'm not sure I'd be able to find Japanese coverage.  I'd feel better if someone could comment about Japanese sources.  Maybe they go more into detail about the Budokan record? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
