Love On The Inside Tour

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

Tour doesn't start until later. No reliable sources about anything else than the start date and supporting artists. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Tour is perfectly verifiable, so WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply here. I'm having difficulty seeing the nominator's reasoning for deletion. Glass  Cobra  22:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC) Merge per Vickser. Suitable info should be included in the main article.  Glass  Cobra  00:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. It isn't a matter of verifiability, it's that the tour isn't notable enough to deserve it's own article. Usually a band-specific tour has to be rather notable to deserve it's own article, and while Sugarland is a notable group, they aren't anywhere NEAR notable enough to deserve a wikipedia page for a tour.

 * Two multi-platinum albums, a handful of charting singles...how more notable do you want this band to be, exactly? Glass  Cobra  23:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If you read my post, I never said the band wasn't notable; They are. The problem is, they aren't notable enough to deserve an article for every tour they go on. Hell, The BEATLES don't even have any articles for tours, so how does Sugarland deserve an article? The problem is that nothing really notable happens on most tours: Bands go from city to city and play music. There isn't really anything different that you can write. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 23:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with Rwiggum here. There are a couple sources to verify the tour, but is there really more that can be said about it than tour dates, placees, and opening acts? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete until more sourced information can be found. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 23:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:OUTCOMES states that "Shows and tours of bands should be listed in the band article, not in a separate article" and this strikes me as a time we should do just that.  There's nothing so notable about this (future) tour that we should invoke WP:Ignore all rules and give it its own article.  Vickser (talk) 00:01, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Do you really have nothing better to do with your time? Why should this concern you. Many fans of various artists come to Wikipedia for tour information, why deprvie the fans of that. Putting all the tour information on Sugarland's main page would be very confusing and Sugarland already has a tour page for their last tour and nothing was said about that one. Sugarland doesn't deserve a tour page but the Jonas Brothers, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, they all do? Give me a break. Sugarland is one of the hottest acts around. There latest single jumped from #91 to #18 on the Hot 100.User:RSzeliga89''' July 10, 2008

 * Comment We aren't nominating this because we "don't have anything better to do". We're doing it because it doesn't meet the notability guidelines of WP:MUSIC. Also, it isn't a matter of "depriving fans" of anything. The article does not belong on Wikipedia. Please, try to remain civil in these discussions. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 00:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It is having nothing better to do. There are numerous tour pages. I plan to make another tour page if this one is deleted when the tour begins if not before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RSzeliga89 (talk • contribs) 00:52, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Then that page will be deleted as well, assuming this discussion leads to a "delete". The purpose of these debates is to come to a consensus on a subject, and you can't just re-create an article after the discussion has taken place. Please read WP:CONSENSUS for more information on the subject. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 00:57, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete I dont believe most tours are considered notable unless there are multiple reports in second party sources. -- neon white talk 01:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, article makes no claim of notability for the tour. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 02:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing here claiming to be notable --T-rex 03:19, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Point of fact from above: the Beatles do have The Beatles' 1965 USA Tour.  There are articles for most U2 tours, Madonna tours, Rolling Stones tours, etc.  These are all highly notable and written about in many third-party sources.  There is a lot that can, and is, said about them in their articles.  Writers of tour articles for less famous acts need to do the same.  Realize that in the modern music industry, concert tours are often seen by more people than buy the albums or singles, and make the artist more money as well.  So why have an article for every single that struggles to #29 on the chart, when a tour is far more important?  Tour article writers, improve your topic coverage and sourcing.
