Not notable, violates WP:CRYSTAL —  Andrew s talk  22:53, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: What would you say is the notability threshold for an article like this? The general notability guideline says a subject is deemed worthy for a stand-alone article if it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".  All one needs to do is skip to the references section of the article to see multiple independent reliable sources – BBC, MTV, Billboard etc. Yes, there are some primary sources (official website, Sony Entertainment website etc.) but that's beside the point.  And WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply to this.  Just because it's a future event doesn't mean it shouldn't be covered.  WP:CRYSTAL is designed to avoid speculation.  If you believe the article is entirely speculative, fair enough, but otherwise it's worth a discussion on the talk page (to sort out problematic sections of the article) rather than AfD in cases like these. matt (talk) 23:05, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename: To clarify my above position, I suggest a keep and make use of the article's talk page to work on any improvements to the article. I don't believe the two points highlighted by the nominator are actually issues in this case.  I also think the article should be moved to something less ambiguous (though my suggestion of "2013 One Direction world tour" was flatly refused by another editor).  matt (talk) 23:05, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename: Not going to waste time re-typing it, but I agree with matt's comment section. There is plenty here to make it notable. Reliable sources such as MTV, Billboard, etc. Band in notable, there is some background information. It needs some expanding, but it's notable. If this can have a page, surely we can find plenty to make this even more notable. --Shadow (talk) 06:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename: It should be called One Direction 2013 World tour i could ten extra independent refs this is notable enough, it's a big across gigantic arena AdabowtheSecond (talk) 14:58, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

 * If you support the rename, why did you object to it by reverting me before? matt (talk) 09:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The tour is most certainly notable. There are currently 64 confirmed tour dates, which 15 different reliable references. Maybe merge with Up All Night Tour, as I have suspicions that it may be the same tour. — Statυs  (talk) 02:53, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete; nothing more than tabloid fodder and a list of dates at the moment. Falls foul of WP:NCONCERT. SplashScreen (talk) 18:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: the tour is already commercially success full 300,000 tickets sold in 1 day 6 O2 arena sold out. How this is tabloid flodder sources range from billboard, mtv, Mtv uk, belfast chronicle, Herald Sun. what more do you want?! This tour is already huge and all the info needs to added and section on main page would just be ridiculous. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:13, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * See WP:OLDAGE and WP:SOURCESEARCH. A bunch of articles stating "One Direction have announced a tour" doesn't make this tour notable, regardless of how many tickets have been sold. SplashScreen (talk) 22:43, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * the tour is notable it has various independent refs and how is gigantic tour not notable. One Direction is notable and so is this tour because their in it I am tired of these editors who Do absolutely nothing do improve 1D articles except from bringing them down it makes people want to stop contributing to WP AdabowtheSecond (talk) 23:13, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited – therefore just because the parent subject (One Direction) is notable does not mean that child subjects (tours, etc.) will be. This article should be judged on its individual merits as a stand-alone article.  matt (talk) 13:02, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment i just want to add whatever happened to a talk page slapping an AFD on a page makes readers feel like WP is untrustworthy aren't talk pages for discussions AdabowtheSecond (talk) 23:19, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep this article is notable. One Direction's current Up All Night Tour, which has less dates than this one has not been tagged for deletion. Many other smaller tour pages, by (arguably) less notable groups are there and untagged. Everything is properly referenced and clearly as the tour approaches and commences more substantial information can be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevo345 (talk • contribs) 04:32, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete under WP:NOTDIR. Wikipedia is not a ticket buyer's guide for year-off shows. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:21, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment There are stacks of articles across wikipedia on tours that are smaller and less notable than this one. Lovestrong Tour and Apocalyptour to name just two. They aren't tagged for deletion? Surely they are less notable than this tour? Stevo345 (talk) 08:01, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * While I agree with the premise of what you're saying, please read Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. matt (talk) 08:52, 23 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:GNG. Then move to or other appropriate title (to be finalised on the article's talk page). I may be wrong, but there could be some history merging needed between those two articles. -- Trevj (talk) 13:50, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
