Japan and Malaysia tour

This is not a notable tour, and also there are not many sources to conduct the article either. Beyoncetan (talk) 18:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. Very notable duo, so the information is encyclopedic. So the other option is to merge and redirect to TLC (group), but that article is long enough already and their other tours have their own articles. Andrewa (talk) 18:35, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The article is now in a very poor condition since it has no source to be further expanded. But redirecting it to TLC (group) is quite a solution. Beyoncetan (talk) 20:55, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually the article does give a source at http://www.billboard-live.com/pg/shop/show/index.php?mode=detail1&event=7337&shop=1 which is in Japanese and a primary source but quite legitimate. The article does need expansion and more sources, and is flagged as needing more sources and that's fair enough. It should also be flagged as a stub IMO but it's a good one and should eventually grow.
 * But the older notability flag seems to me to be highly questionable. It is most improbable that this tour was not covered in reliable secondary sources. It's just that we haven't found them yet, probably because there may be none in English, and it may be some time before we do, particularly as there are no corresponding articles in other language Wikipedias. None of this is unusual for articles on tours, albums, bands etc relating primarily to non-English-speaking areas. English Wikipedia seeks to cover all topics, not just ones relating to English-speaking areas.
 * Merge and redirect doesn't seem a good idea to to me, for reasons already given. But preferable to deletion, for which there is absolutely no case IMO. And the hit-and-run tag questioning notability should be removed from the article. Andrewa (talk) 21:42, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
