The Fame Ball Tour

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

Non-notable concert tour Smanu (talk) 10:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Extremely notable concert tour considering the status of the artist in consideration and the fact that it is the first headlining tour. Proper references are there to consolidify its importance and asserts its notability. More info will come as the tour starts and progresses. Nominating the article for Afd seems trivial. --Legolas!!  ( talk to me ) 11:40, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The tour is not notable for these reasons: It's a one month tour by artist with only one album. Also the tour is only in 2 countries (USA and Canada) --Smanu (talk) 12:04, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That is not a reason for being not notable, please read WP:N. If that is the case every first tour by all new artists should be nominated for deletion. The fact that the tour is in two countries with notable music business and tours makes it more notable. Also having one album doesnot make it less notable. --Legolas!!

 * Keep It has gained attention from mainstream publication. --Efe (talk) 11:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge. It meets WP:N, so this is primarily for editorial reasons. The article consists primarily of tour dates, which I maintain violate WP:NOT, and should be removed. Once that is done, it's a small, one paragraph article that could be easily located in The Fame (album).&mdash;Kww(talk) 12:26, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The article is not only about the tour dates. There is info about the development and expectations from the tour. --Legolas!!  ( talk to me ) 12:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Did I say otherwise? That information is there, but it only required a paragraph to express.&mdash;Kww(talk) 13:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As you can see the tour start date is very near. Hence i believe a surplus of information will come that will completely fill the page. My concern is over the merge that you suggested. Because if we merge now, the info when it will start coming soon, the article will be reverted back again. To save everybody from cumbersome reverts and redirects i was saying it is unnecessary to delete or to merge it now. One month ago, i would have supported the merge or Afd, but now it seems unnecessary. --Legolas!!  ( talk to me ) 13:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Then by your (and that article) definition, there should not be a tracklisting for album articles, or a cast list for movie article or a song/act list for play articles. Lyonhunter (talk) 23:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think comparing a set list to a track list is a better comparison. A tour date list is like listing every retail store an album is available in.&mdash;Kww(talk) 03:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete The tour itself is not notable, and a short paragraph or 2 about the tour could be put on the artists main page, it fails enough for SPINOUT 216.211.255.98 (talk) 18:06, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge - I'm going to say merge into main article and just add section about the tour. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 23:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. There appears to be quite a bit of coverage in mainstream sources. --L. Pistachio (talk) 23:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Article does not fail notability by the guidelines of Wikipedia. According to media, tour appears to be a success for both the artist and her label. If article does not expand (significantly) by end of event then nominate for deletion. Lyonhunter (talk) 23:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Doubly agree. --Legolas!!  ( talk to me ) 04:14, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable concert! There are a lot of sold out!--Aaa16 (talk) 12:41, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The Best Damn Tour by Avril Lavigne has had a lot of sold-out, but it does not have an own page --Smanu (talk) 16:36, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * But Lady GaGa is Lady GaGa!! And the tour of Lady GaGa will be also in Oceania!! And so it's a worldwide tour!! Why in the article there're only the US&Canada dates?--Aaa16 (talk) 18:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable, first concert. And its Gaga not GaGa. Its only a NA tour, not Australiaia and Ocenia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GagaLoveGame (talk • contribs) 00:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
