Yes Tours

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

You know, Yes is a damn good band. I think they're great. However, a list of their tours as they have happened throughout the US does not belong here on Wikipedia.  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 16:33, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * See other wiki articles such as "The Rolling Stones Tours" or "Deep Purple World tours"!

An article about Yes' tours throughout the last 4 decades is relevant! They made history !

Lurulu (talk) 18:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC) Keep - I could see a listing of all their tours. In its current state, I can understand the request for deletion. However, I have always been told "..deletion is the last resort". If an article can be fixed through editing and it is notable, it should be kept. As Lurulu pointed out, "...An article about Yes' tours throughout the last 4 decades is relevant! They made history !". Thanks ShoesssS Talk 21:33, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment In principle, an article of this type seems fine, but what's currently there isn't remotely enough even for a stub. Bondegezou (talk) 21:35, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The author just started the article a little less than 6 Hours ago. I am more than willing to see how it develops, at least for a couple of days.  Who knows, they may get some help.  Thanks ShoesssS Talk 21:41, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - The topic is appropriate. The content is beyond skimpy at this point, but every article has to start somewhere. Rlendog (talk) 19:19, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * More comment. I was going to try to do some work on this article to improve it. There are some very good online resources of Yes's touring history -- notably Yesgigs and Forgotten Yesterdays -- but then I realised that there is little WP:RS to support a gig-by-gig level of detail (although a book entitled "Yes—A Live Guide 1968-1979" by Garry Freeman is expected). While I can see that reliable sources exist for, say, The Beatles or the Stones, I don't see enough material extant to support a Wikipedia page at the level of individual tour dates. An article at a tour leg by tour leg level appears more appropriate. Bondegezou (talk) 15:28, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sorry, I fail to see how this page is more than WP:FANCRUFT. It's completely unsourced and has no extra info other than a list of venues and updates. Wiki is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and I think this article violates that. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:33, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. I've expanded this page somewhat to show how it might work. My earlier comments about reliable sources stand. Bondegezou (talk) 14:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * ... and someone else has further expanded this page. It's substantially changed since the initial opinions expressed above, although some of the same issues remain. 128.40.182.50 (talk) 18:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
