The Game Tour

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

Non-notable tour. Article consists only of a setlist and list of dates. Fails WP:NOTINHERITED Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 14:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Tour generated substantial press coverage at the time, and should be able to meet the general notability guideline with ease if one looks in a suitable place (i.e., contemporary newspapers and music magazines). JulesH (talk) 20:41, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you please provide some of that coverage? And to be notable, the tour must be notable on its OWN, completely regardless of what band it was for, because notability cannot be inherited from another subject. The subject of the article must be notable in its own right, and nothing seems to suggest that here. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 21:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, a non-notable tour that fails to satisfy the general notability guideline with significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Just an indiscriminate collection of fancruft.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 00:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: trivial coverage, non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 02:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: nothing inherently notable about this tour, a list of dates without explanation or rationale. A-Kartoffel (talk) 03:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Tour was reviewed in the Boston Globe and also in The Times, and was covered in Rolling Stone. The tour is notable for drawing record crowds in Argentina (The Washington Post). And I have no reason to doubt JulesH that even more press coverage exists from 1980 and 1981, but thanks to FUTON bias, it probably won't be found in a Google search.

 * Keep per sources DHowell gave. But I take issue with the current article: it has lots of lists and very little prose.  I'm going to be bold and delete all the lists.  I see a problem with duplicating lists off Queen's website...why?  Because (1) it's a self-published source, and (2) it violates WP:NOTMIRROR.  Cazort (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Oh no! There's a whole shitload of articles on Queen tours, and they're all just these enormous lists duplicated off the website, with no prose!  Please, someone do the dirty work for me!  I don't want to be the bad guy!  Cazort (talk) 03:10, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, per User:Esradekan. Indiscriminate list. Iam (talk) 02:55, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per the sources JulesH gave. It is substantially covered by reliable sources. Although the article needs a huge amount of improvement, the subject is notable enough to have an article. Tim  meh  !  23:51, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, enough sources from reliable side. I ask the nominator what he wants to show notability: A book, a movie, 1 billion Ghits, a star named after? Also which policy he bases his claim on, that reviews do not denote notability? We are not talking about some garage band, but one of the most successful bands ever, especially back in those days. And if it comes to tours, Queen always were known not only for their records, but also for their concerts, being initial in many aspects of the evolution of live sound and lighting along Pink Floyd and Genesis. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa  Chord 2  00:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep What!?? A tour by the Queens covered by reliable sources including the Rolling Stones, I don't know what else to say.-- J mundo 01:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. There is cerainly some coverage, and I would tend towards keeping this, but surely the concert that drew record crowds in Argentina was on the Hot Space tour rather than this one?--Michig (talk) 05:51, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
