Non-notable tour, article is hardly more than a setlist. Despite being a tour for a notable group, an article still must be notable on it's own as per WP:NOTINHERITED Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 20:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, non-notable tour that fails WP:GNG.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 21:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Major tour by major pop group.  The nom's notion that concert tours are inherently unnotable is badly flawed. In many cases, concert tours are artistic endeavors of their own, due to staging, presentation themes, song selection, arrangements, etc. And in many cases, concert tours are seen by more people than buy the same artists' albums or singles, and are more commercially important to the artist.  There's no reason this article can't be as good as Into the Millennium Tour.  And even in its present state, it doesn't "inherit" notability any worse than the barebones The Hits: Chapter One article does, which is hardly more than a track listing.

 * Simply making an artist a lot of money does not make something notable, nor does complexity of the stage show make it notable. If there isn't substantial, non-trival coverage, then it isn't notable enough. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 19:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Conditional keep. There is no doubt about the notability of the act. The problem here is twofold: there is no citation indicating coverage of the tour by news sites (preferably local media), and the set list seems to be OR without any sourcing. Should citations for both be provided, that would be enough for keeping the article. B.Wind (talk) 04:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
