Pub Rock Tour

Non notable concert tour. No more notable than any of the other 10,000 concert tours that happen every year, and we don't have an article for them. Fails WP:MUSIC and WP:GNG. Nouse4aname (talk) 08:02, 25 September 2009 (UTC) Also nominating the following articles for similar reasoning:[reply]

Keep, no valid reason given for deletion. Despite the nominator's claim, we have around a thousand article on concert tours[1], and tours by notable bands will generally pass the GNG due to published reviews of the concert. Articles like these don't strike me as a whole lot different from the articles on the individual seasons of professional sports teams -- easy enough to document, of interest primarily to the most devoted fans of the team/group involved. Boring the average Wikipedia user to tears isn't grounds for deletion. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:50, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- The fact that none of these articles contains a single reliable source means that they fail WP:GNG - a perfectly valid reason for deletion. Nouse4aname (talk) 15:44, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. We have plenty of similar tour articles already, many of them mainly consisting of an event listing, so why should we treat these articles any differently? JIP | Talk 00:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah yes, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. As I said above, no reliable sources = no notability = no article. Articles consisting of purely event listings with no reliable sources should be deleted. The fact that some exist that haven't been deleted is not a valid reason to keep other such articles. Nouse4aname (talk) 15:44, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Numerous such articles have been deleted for the same valid reasons I have presented above: see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Go_Chuck_Yourself_Tour, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Escape_Together_World_Tour_2009, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Everytime We Touch Tour (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Barfly Mini-Tour and various others.

Delete Content should go on the Big Day Out/Airbourne pages
Delete Unsourced. Contain no notable content. Keeping an article just because similar articles have not been deleted is not a valid reason. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 10:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability/lack of RS. A tour by a barely-notable band before they'd even had a disc out is going to fail WP:GNG, no matter what way you look at it. (The Airbourne (band) article also has a number of issues.) Orderinchaos 03:24, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all as spam, band is unheard of. NGNG tour is future tour. Abductive (reasoning) 18:25, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
