Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/L'Oreal Hair Zone Mall Tour

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to ...Baby One More Time (album)#Release and promotion. This is an unusual situation where even people who are bolding a !vote as keep admit that it does not satisfy our policies or guidelines for notability. This suggests a consensus that this article does not meet our standard for an independent article. Given the late comment that there is existing material in an article that would be of interest to a reader looking for information about this tour, a redirect seems to be an appropriate reading of consensus. Editors could also choose to merge some more information from the article using its history if they wish per our normal editing processes. Note: I had originally relisted this but the last comment came in while I was relisting which provides enough of a consensus, I feel, to support a close rather than a relist because it was already a marginal relist for the reasons explained above.

As per WP:NTOUR, "Concert tours are probably notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources." This article does not have any sources to show significant media coverage, and hence this concert tour is not notable enough to warrant its own article.

Keep I'm not going to judge this on NTOUR because obviously it wouldn't meet it, but on the basis of an WP:IAR. We've got a great window on the start of Spears's career within this article; well-sourced as to the background and overall, even if many of those are sourced to books. It doesn't feel crufty, nor is there the usual overload of radio station publicity sources or 'teenagers at a mall screaming at a pop star, amirite?' local news aftermath stories these type of articles are usually polluted with. It's a fine article with good sources detailing a small tour that started her rise, and I don't see any reason for deletion. Nate • (chatter) 00:52, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep due to its association with one of the best-selling albums of all time and because it is sourced pretty well (for a somewhat obscure thing that happened in the 90s). Trillfendi (talk) 16:02, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Britney Spears or Delete. The reason why the portion dedicated to the article is so short, unlike the well-researched (if poorly referenced) preamble to it, is because it simply lacked significant coverage, unlike the following tour. The printed sources listed do not seem to contribute in any way to coverage of the tour, let alone significant coverage. Even those who have supported removal mention that it is obscure and have attempted to project notability from Spears to this tour, although typically notability is not inherited. At any rate, there is no dispute that it fails WP:NTOUR, and for that alone it should be merged into Spears' article or deleted. Pilaz (talk) 10:00, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to ...Baby One More Time (album)#Release and promotion where the tour is already covered. Any content not found there could be merged if desired.4meter4 (talk) 01:34, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
