R2K Concert

Concert review masquerading as an encyclopedia article. This is better off on a fan site. cholmes75 (chit chat) 16:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, nn concert. Unfortunately this doesn't fit any speedy criteria. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 20:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * DeleteSources don't seem sufficient to do a decent article. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 21:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: The article needs a lot of work, but a quick Google search shows that it was indeed a notable event. We have articles on other notable concerts, from the Altamont Free Concert to the The Concert for Bangladesh. This concert appears to have been notable, at least in the Philippines.

 * Delete (or possibly merge to the singer's article or that on the stadium). If the concert itself is in fact notable, the article will need an almost complete overhaul to demonstrate that. For mine, the easiest way to overhaul this would be either by starting from scratch or working it up as a sub-section of the articles I've mentioned.

 * Comment. The only ref I can find is this and it just mentions briefly the R2K concert to put context about another singer from our country. Berserkerz Crit 11:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Have you looked in Google? Guanxi 14:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a better Google search We need to identify what R2K is/was, since "R2K" was also a name of one of Regine Velasquez's albums. Page 1 of the search consists mostly of videos of the concert. If I've posted a video of myself or any well-established recording artist's concert on YouTube singing at our home would it be on Wikipedia?  -- Howard   the   Duck  12:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is not as important as the Concert for Bangladesh. -- Howard  the   Duck  14:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) That's one person's POV, and 2) It doesn't have to be that important, only Notable Guanxi 14:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not important enough to be notable. What's next, 2007 Fallout Boy concert in the Araneta Coliseum? Or the StarStruck final judgment nights? -- Howard  the   Duck  16:26, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As I said, that's your POV -- until you provide evidence on how it fails the standard. Guanxi 18:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you provide a reason why this is notable, as compared to countless other concerts held at the Araneta Coliseum? This is perhaps notable for Regine Velasquez fans, but not for the general Filipino populace. As I've said, countless other concerts and events are held in the Araneta Coliseum; even the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar Larios match which garnered far more publicity than this one doesn't have (and will never have an article), why should this one? The number of G-hits doesn't mean it is notable, or else Ashley Ferl should have an article. -- Howard  the   Duck  04:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete Notability of the concert not established, other than it being Regine Velasquez's major concert (the article is sooo fancrufty, I can't convince myself it was written objectively). That information is better left to the main Regine Velasquez article. Otherwise, I can't find other rationale for it being on the same level as, say, the Live Earth concerts. --- Tito Pao 08:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
