Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here Tour 1975

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

Non-notable tour that mostly consists of a setlist and tour dates. Rwiggum (Talk /Contrib ) 21:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, a non-notable tour that fails to satisfy the general notability guideline with significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:37, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * All other mayor rock bands have all their tours detailed, like Zeppelin, The Stones, even Queen, except for Pink Floyd —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alberto077 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's no reason for inclusion, though. Please see WP:OTHERSTUFF for more information. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 02:45, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: trivial coverage, non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 06:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: This tour marked the final rift between Pink Floyd and the critics, with about all major publications writing articles against the band. Storm Thorgerson attended the tour, looking for inspiration for the Wish You Were Here artwork as mentioned in Saucerful of Secrets by Nicholas Schaffner. It's where Thorgerson came up with the idea of shrink-wrapping the album in black - lifted from Country Life. Nick Mason writes about several speaker malfunctions on the tour in his book Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd besides other anecdotes. The concert in Knebworth (July 5, 1975) was pure desaster leading to much attack from the press, and Floyd not playing live for about two years. This is reflected in Bruno MacDonald's book Pink Floyd: Through the Eyes of..., while Echoes and In the Flesh by Glenn Povey feature the whole tour on several pages. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  21:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * But nothing that you mention actually constitutes "substantial coverage". Mostly it's writings about the band coming from people and sources that write about the band, and write about the tour BECAUSE they write about the band. Pink Floyd has a very devout fan following, and because of that nearly every part of their history has been covered in detail by these sources. However, this is not "substantial third-party coverage" that proves notability per the general notability guidelines. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 22:06, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: nothing inherently notable about this tour, a list of dates without explanation or rationale. A-Kartoffel (talk) 03:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Matt Damsker from the Philadelphia Bulletin and John David Kalodner from the Philadelphia Inquirer saw it different, back in 1975. I guess The Press Reports (1966-1983) by Vernon Fitch would bring up even more. But I doubt it's here with me before you delete the article... -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  01:54, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep-- Hum.. It's difficult to think that a tour by Pink Floyd in the 1970s was not notable (WP:NTEMP). The article can be expanded using available reliable sources like this one. --J.Mundo (talk) 17:25, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per RS's included on this page. Jclemens (talk) 21:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and Expand - How is this not notable, exactly? Granted, it does need massive improvement, but not deletion.--Unionhawk Talk 02:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
