Previously deleted as a prod at Metallica 2011 Tour. The concept of a 2011 tour by Metallica is a seemingly made-up concept. It is not a tour, it is several festival dates over the course of many months, it is totally misleading to even refer to it as a tour. One concert in April, five in July, one in September, that is not a tour. O Fenian (talk) 17:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment While the article doesn't make this clear, the important feature of this "tour" is that it features the "big 4" bands (ie, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax) and in that capacity it's quite notable. [1] [2] [3] [4] lots more here Robman94 (talk) 15:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- At least two of those actually appear to be about the 2010 dates, see Thrash metal#"Big Four" Tour. I am certainly convinced by that the information should not really exist at this particular title since we could have four virtually identical articles with only the band names differing, and that if deletion cannot be agreed on it should be moved to a non-band specific article about the "tour".

- That solution would certainly work for me. Then the new article would be about the "Big Four Tour" and could contain info about both the 2010 and 2011 dates. Such an article would also stand the test of time because, rather than publicizing an upcoming tour, it would be documenting the rare coming together of 4 big bands.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete as WP:Crystal. So far there is no tour or concert. It is a possible future event. An article can be create after - if the event happens. Onthegogo (talk) 23:58, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
