Grateful Dead Concerts 1965
Apart from the fact that this article is a calender and doensn't contain any information - I believe it's established by now that tours of a band do not generally deserve separate articles? Radiant! 15:36, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Some editors feel that a not-yet-started tour of a not-very-notable lip-synching performer is article-worthy; see Votes_for_deletion/Ashlee_Simpson_U.S._tour%2C_2005. However, the result of that VfD was delete, which is how I must vote this time, despite being a fan of the band in question.  The Dead were noteworthy; the Deadhead fan phenomenon was perhaps more noteworthy than anything else of the sort; but a list of concerts, even ones that already happened verifiably, is not encyclopedic by WP's standards.

 * Delete. It's just links to pages that haven't been created yet. Miss Pippa 17:58, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There used to be several dozen of these pages, but the rest were deleted some months ago. - SimonP 21:37, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - not an article, list of links to articles which do not exist and have not been created in the five months since the list was made. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 00:08, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * As an additional comment, I would have speedy deleted this as little/no context or definition. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 00:11, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, had the person connected all these links and actually made all this sub-article pages, then what would the consensus be? -- Riffsyphon1024 00:15, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Interesting question. Personally I'd have voted for merging the lot of them. Because the descriptions of all the concerts are likely to be very similar, and even most fans wouldn't care to compare most of them for details. Radiant! 08:43, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, a list of empty links - not very useful or encyclopaedic. Megan1967 04:09, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, fancruft. Delete it before all those red links get filled in.  RickK 06:03, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It would be nice if, upon its completion, a reader could find a list of every single Grateful Dead concert that ever took place here. What is gained by such an article's deletion? 141.225.146.182 21:55, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Long lists of trivia aren't encyclopedic. Radiant! 08:43, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. sounds cool to me how about doing the later tours too?

 * Delete. Nothing against the Dead (hey, I like "Uncle John's Band"), but this is not encyclopedic.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 04:50, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
