Red Hot Chili Peppers 1998 Tour

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As I said in the PROD, which seems to have disappeared, this is not a notable tour per WP:NTOUR. There are no discussions of the tour as a whole (or as a tour), only a few links to things that are not secondary sources--besides a mention or two of things that happened at shows. As a tour, this is simply not notable. Drmies (talk) 22:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * This was the first tour with a returning John Frusciante after six years, which is pretty notable considering he is their most recognizable guitarist and their first tour at the time in two years. The 1998 tour is also recognized as an official tour on the band's website. http://redhotchilipeppers.com/tour/past/1998 and it is also mentioned as an important event on the band's official timeline on their website http://redhotchilipeppers.com/timeline It featured the debut of new songs from Californication, songs the band had never played before and songs they would never play again. Removing the article for it would also create a gap in between the band's 96/97 One Hot Minute tour with Navarro and the Californication tour, which begain an entire year after the 1998 tour. If it needed to be merged (the article has been around for four years now so unsure why all of a sudden it needs to be removed) maybe create a section in the Californication tour article even though it had no connection to that tour as the album wasnt even close to completion and the 1998 tour was it's own tour, not in support of the future album. I dont however see a reason to delete it as this tour was important in the band's history with the return of Frusciante. Jason1978 (talk) 22:35, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - This contains a whole heap of WP:OR. Frusciante rejoining is adequately covered on the band's main page. Are there any reviews of the tour (Rolling Stone, Spin, LA Times). The Tibetan Freedom concert is covered adequately. I'm sorry, but it just does not seem to be needed nor have the sources to warrant inclusion. Karst (talk) 11:53, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
