Legends In Concert

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

Article about a tribute show of uncertain notability; previously deleted as spam but the current version is considerably better&mdash; but it still has serious difficulty establishing notability. The awards do not appear to be significant (or at least aren't demonstrably so: they are sourced by the tribute itself), and the press quotes aren't sourced and verifiable (and have no context to help figure out significance). &mdash; Coren (talk) 22:21, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No attempt to establish notability. TheMolecularMan (talk) 23:23, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Further note: a bit of digging shows the current references to point to either user-provided contents or minor "show exists" mention in calendars or travel guides. The prize is also increasingly suspect: it is given to hundreds of "winners" every year according to user voting with no mention of criteria, methodology or even vote counts.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 03:58, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * PLEASE NOTE: A credible and referenced association with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (EPE) has been added to the article further adding notability. Jaiesi (talk) 04:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This doesn't seem to go very far. Notability is not transferred through minor business ventures, and Elvis Presley Enterprises doesn't seem to have that much notability to share anyway. TheMolecularMan (talk) 05:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * A few more press comments have been added with appropriate reference and one notable nomination under awards.Jaiesi (talk) 14:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)Jaiesi (talk) 00:29, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Further note that I have added several more press comments adding to the notability and credibility of Legends In Concert's 25 years as a premiere tribute artist show. The comments all contain links to the articles with named author. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaiesi (talk • contribs) 01:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment OK, the Seattle Times counts as non-trivial coverage from a reliable source; Boston Globe is also a reliable source, though since the article is not online I can't tell if the mention is non-trivial. Branson Courier, Kingman Daily Miner and the blog post on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch web site, I'm not really sure about. This may be inching toward notability but I would like to see some opinions from others. TheMolecularMan (talk) 23:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: This is commercial package and not an artist or set of artists.  I.e. it is a case of SoundAlikes ("tribute bands").  What needs to be assessed is whether this particular professional organization passes the CORP and organization guidelines.  So far as I can tell, it is miles away.  Getting a mention of a performance is not the same thing as a discussion of the promoters, and the title refers to the promoters.  Utgard Loki (talk) 13:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Take note.More press quotes added: Please take note that I have included even more reliable press quotes in striving to meet notability and establish credibility of the show. I have included The New York Daily News among the quotes with verifiable links including references. Again, Legends In Concert has been established for 25 years on the Las Vegas strip as several of the articles I have referenced indicate. Again. Thank you for your time and feedback.Jaiesi (talk) 22:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Addition to Awards. Another award/honor has been added under Awards to further establish credibility and noteworthiness. Jaiesi (talk) 20:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to meet WP:RS and it has articles in several publications where it is the primary topic.  The article needs a lot of work.  Shows lasting 25 years in Vegas are rare.  The lack of categories and links is part of the reason this article has not been noticed by editors that could improve it. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability seems to just about have been established through the sources added to the article. Davewild (talk) 08:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
