Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC. Nothing particularly notable about this concert tour. We are not an indiscriminate collection of information Nouse4aname (talk) 15:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Major tour by successful and influential rock/pop artist and part of a series of Depeche Mode tour articles. The information ought to be kept, however, it may suit to merge the information within this article with Devotional Tour, since both tours were in support of the same album. The "Exotic" leg can be noted as such within that article. (Freak.scenery (talk) 18:06, 9 January 2010 (UTC))[reply]
- Please address the concerns regarding the lack of reliable sources and notability rather than making statements that simply represent your opinion and are not based on policy or guideline. Nouse4aname (talk) 14:55, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The tour, its commercial success in distant markets, and its effect on Fletcher and the band's personnel, is discussed over several pages of the book Stripped: Depeche Mode, by Jonathan Miller, Omnibus Press, 2004, ISBN 1844494152. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:27, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Then by all means add such relevant material to the article. Nouse4aname (talk) 14:30, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think WP:BEFORE applies here: "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD." Wasted Time R (talk) 04:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Agree and Keep. The ref(s) is there, at worst this article should be tagged with the unref tag. Lugnuts (talk)
