Forthcoming Madonna tour

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No sources are cited, and the article is based on all rumour. Nothing has been confirmed, and therefore no article should be created... See WP:CRYSTAL. Save-Me-Oprah (talk) 07:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Madonna herself has confirmed her upcoming world tour. 10:13,6 May 2008 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.96.14 (talk)

 * Keep. A source has been cited which features confirmation from Madonna herself that a world tour will begin late summer 2008. I can add more if necessary. She has confirmed in various television and radio interviews. I created the article and I am working hard to remove any fan speculation - this covers set lists and tour names, which are pure rumour/wishful thinking. These have no place in the article. What does have a place is the fact that this tour WILL happen, and when it is announced, further information can be added to the article. --86.133.26.238 (talk) 12:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Article pages on tours are rather iffy in the first place. The existence and announcement of a tour, be it forthcoming, in progress, or completed, is not sufficient reason for a Wikipedia article as I see it.  They must have independent coverage that discusses them in detail.  If the tour does not even have a name, it certainly breaks WP:CRYSTAL. -Verdatum (talk) 14:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:CRYSTAL. Too generic of a title- if a name for the tour hasn't even been thought up yet, it's way too much speculation. Even the infobox (as of right now) has "TBA" as the tour name. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete If actual citations could be made of third-party reliable sources (there is mention of an Italian daily), then it would certainly come a bit closer to article status. -Seidenstud (talk) 20:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Delete for now, when it is officially announced and has a name with further information that can be added to the article then it should be created. Atlantics88 (talk) 01:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, Madonna confirmed the tour herself a few days ago. Dates to be announced this week. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lecarlos (talk • contribs) 07:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
