Pigs on Roger Waters solo tours

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article was nominated for deletion by an unregisterd user. My opinion is Keep. Roger Waters is a very notable person, and the inflatable pig is a very notable show element for both Pink Floyd and Roger Waters. The way the pig is used by Roger Waters on tour illustrates his artistic personality and political views. I see a lot of encyclopedic value in that. --BeautifulFlying (talk) 01:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to Inflatable pigs on Roger Waters' tours (or something like that). The rename is because, of course, "Pigs" is a Pink Floyd song and the title is confusing.  The keep is because the issue of the inflatable pig is notable and was one of the details of the Waters-Gilmore feud.  The article provides enough sources for its notability independent of any other article.  Torc2 (talk) 02:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete/merge - yes, Roger Waters is notable, and so are pink floyd, but the level of detail here is truly excessive. A single paragraph in another article would suffice. Possibly merge into Pink Floyd Pigs. - mattbuck 02:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete' - largely unreferenced cruft. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Ha, ha, Merge-you-are... back in to Waters article. Largely unreferenced/unsourced and would look good on a fan site, but not here. Lugnuts (talk) 08:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Adequate notability from many sources. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into either Roger Waters or Pink Floyd pigs Doc Strange (talk) 15:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Now this spells cruft to me in a massive way. The fact that Waters uses pigs on his solo tours can be mentioned in Pink Floyd pigs but don't merge all of this because that would surely be undue weight.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 16:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
