What happens on tour, stays on tour

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

Article makes too many claims which are of uncertain accuracy and which cannot easily be referenced (from online sources at least), and to my mind fails WP:Original Research. It is not clear that this is the most common variant of the phrase (What goes on the bus, stays on the bus gets more google hits), whether it does originate from sports - variants from the entertainment industry certainly have a long history - or the extent to which it primarily applies to male behaviour - I have heard it used by women and applied to female behaviour a significant number of times. Take those out and there is nothing left to base an anrticle on. dramatic (talk) 11:21, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Hidden behind the inadequate research and the earlier versions of the article is a real meme that has been stated many ways, including your "What goes on the bus..." In looking for references for the article, I found many more instances of "What happens on the road..." than any other variant, but whatever works. The article could be moved to the most apt title, it can be referenced better, it can have its OR bits taken out, it can have more about females, it can have an entirely new introduction written, but article deletion is not required to fix this.

 * Comment - important meme it may be, but without reliable sources which discuss it as a meme (rather than the thousands of links which merely repeat variants of it), we don't have the basis of an article. Are any of the keepsayers actually volunteering to research and fix this? dramatic (talk) 19:03, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have been and I will continue to do so, but with this AfD going as it's going with so many "keep" !votes, there are no frantic flames to beat out. I imagine that I'll return to the article each time I find a new reference. Binksternet (talk) 20:19, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. This article does have numerous problems, including sources, OR, and possibly being under the wrong title. That said, the idea needs to be presented somewhere. Fix it, yes; move it, maybe; but don't delete it. cmadler (talk) 18:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Keep and cleanup. Something more difficult than deleting but better for the encyclopedia. Francium12  19:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Binksternet, keep the article under its most appropriate title and fix the issues. Spy007au (talk) 07:03, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - but clean up and possibly move as suggested. Bearian (talk) 19:45, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
