List of Asking Alexandria concert tours

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Promotional list of a band's recent and upcoming concerts. This is not encyclopedic information. Snotty Wong  verbalize 18:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete – This appears to be a collection of tours that, with the exception of Soundwave, all individually fail the criteria at WP:NMG. Most all of these are also being sourced by images of promotional posters, which are not the published third-party citations that Wikipedia is looking for. I'm not sure I completely agree that a historical reference of concert tours of a band isn't encyclopedic information, but the way it's being presented here clearly doesn't comply with many guidelines and policies, and it's certainly not enough information that it's deserving of its own article.

 * Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure if you noticed (because I didn't at first), but this isn't a list of Asking Alexandria concert tours, but it is a list of concert tours in which Asking Alexandria is one of many participants.  There's a subtle difference, and that is the reason I'm claiming that this is not encyclopedic information.  Snotty Wong   speak 20:52, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, I did notice that. What I was trying to get at with my comment was that it sounded like your nomination was half being based on the article being promotional, and half based on it's content not being encyclopedic. However, I don't agree with the latter part of that statement—or maybe I do agree with what you're driving at, just not the way it's worded. I believe a list of tours could in fact be encyclopedic information under certain conditions, but that this specific list is not presented in an encyclopedic manner. Regardless of whether Asking Alexandria was headlining or a participant, none of these tours are individually notable, and no sources exist on the band's "artistic approach, financial success or relationship to audience."

 * Delete with fire and storm: With an obscure band whose sole claim to fame is a single studio release that peaked at #170 on Billboard's album chart, and an article sourced by Myspace, Flickr, Youtube, last.fm and various blogs, I'd say a good case could be made for deletion on the band itself. An article on its tour dates?  Absurd.  Fails WP:V.   Ravenswing  20:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
