Keep Most major venues have similar articles [1]. One was nominated for deletion and the decision was to keep [2]. Nothing on WP:NOTDIR refers to venues. Thankyoubaby (talk) 08:32, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with Merge Keep the article or Merge to Rogers Place--PATH SLOPU^(Talk) 13:37, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The tour articles contain lists of dates and venues, so there's no reason why venue articles shouldn't contain lists of tours and dates. Whether such lists should be in the venue article or split out due to length is an editorial one. All the events contain notable performers and should be considered major events. WP:NOTDIRECTORY is primarily concerned with directory lists as resources for conducting business, for example listing upcoming events, so I don't see it as particularly relevant here.--Pontificalibus 13:46, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep, pending a wider discussion on whether such lists are useful or not. I agree with the nominator that it's largely a NOTDIRECTORY violation, but Category:Lists of events by venue has lists for many other venues besides Rogers Place, and there may still be others lurking somewhere that just haven't been added there yet — and there's no valid reason to single Rogers Place's list out as uniquely unencyclopedic. Is this a thing we should be doing on here at all, perhaps not — but that would require a consensus to kill all of the existing "events by venue" lists off, not just this one in isolation.

These three AfD's last year were for similar articles - based on a list of events that were held at specific venues: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of entertainment events at FedExForum Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of entertainment events at the BMO Harris Bradley Center and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of entertainment events at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The difference is, those articles were largely unsourced or had all the info taken from the venue's websites. This article is independently sourced like the surviving AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of events at T-Mobile Arena. Thankyoubaby (talk) 04:48, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
