NickiHndrxx Tour

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced article about a concert tour, which is predictably just a standard and routine list of the concert venues. As always, every concert tour does not get an automatic free pass over WP:NTOUR just because it happens to be a notable artist doing it -- tours become notable by being the subject of reliable source coverage in media, such as actual reviews of the concerts by real music journalists. But for a tour that isn't even starting for another three months, that type of content is impossible to provide yet -- so no prejudice against recreation in the fall once actual reliable sources are actually writing about it, but no artist's concert tours are ever entitled to already have an unsourced "list of venues, the end" article in advance of sufficient media coverage about the tour to get it over WP:GNG.

A collaboration tour by two mainstream artists, Nicki Minaj and Future promoting two albums with approved wikipedia articles, Queen and Hndrxx, is pretty notable. I think the only problem is that the article for the tour isn't developed enough as it is which is weird because there's tons of articles about it. i don't think it should be deleted but it should be expanded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.183.52.82 (talk) 07:33, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Here's some sources:

 * Nicki Minaj and Future are bringing their NickiHndrxx tour to Toronto
 * "Straight from the A" and StubHub are not reliable or notability-supporting sources, and while Now is, that source doesn't establish anything that counts as passage of an WP:NTOUR criterion. "Has sources in it" is not all that a tour article has to do to pass NTOUR or escape deletion — kindly note that NTOUR distinguishes between sources that show "notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms", which are valid support for notability, and "sources that merely establish that a tour happened", which are not. For comparison's sake, The Tragically Hip undertook dozens of concert tours over the course of their career, but just two of them actually have Wikipedia articles: the multi-artist festival bill they staged three times in the 1990s, and the one that left such a uniquely gargantuan imprint on Canadian history (free hint, dude was dying) that the lead singer actually beat out the Prime Minister for Canadian Newsmaker of the Year status two years in a row.
