Matt Finish Chronology[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Long list of concert dates and locations over last 33 years lacking inline citations. I checked a few obvious bands/performers (ie, The Beatles, Kylie, etc) and they do not have equivalent chronology pages which makes this seem a clear delete, but am flagging for discussion.

Comment - This was bugging me so I had another poke around and tracked down Category:Lists of concert tours, including the names I had been trying to find chronology articles for. I can see that I may have made a mistake with this AFD nom - it may need renaming to something a bit more logical like "List of Matt Finish concerts and key dates" or similar, rather than being deleted, but will see what others say.

Delete per WP:IINFO and WP:NOTWEBHOST - we don't need an article which lists every concert by any band, and especially not a fairly obscure outfit such as this. This would be good content for the band's own website, but it's not encyclopedic. Nick-D (talk) 04:45, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Nick-D. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:58, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't delete this article. It contains important historical information about one of Australia's most successful live bands since the late seventies and their connection to other influential Australian bands including Midnight Oil, INXS, Icehouse, The Angels and Cold Chisel. Matt Finish is not "a fairly obscure outfit" considering they have performed more than 3,000 shows live to over a million people, sold over 250,000 albums, have songs in numerous films and television shows and are still played on Australia radio. Matt Finish also toured with XTC, The B52s, Roxy Music and U2. U2 have an "equivalent chronology" on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_U2 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U2_concert_tours. Please don't delete this important historical article about one of Australia's greatest bands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.5.31 (talk) 10:16, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, essentially per Nick-D. This is the sort of information that would be useful on a fansite for the band, but Wikipedia is not a Matt Finish fansite! Would be happy to userify this list if it's deleted so that the content can be hosted somewhere else (ie: not Wikipedia), as it's clear a fair bit of effort has gone into it.

DO NOT DELETE THIS PAGE!!!!!!!!

Here's a list of the Ramones gigs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ramones_concerts Here's a list of the Jedward gigs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jedward_concert_tours Here's a list of the Jonas Brothers gigs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Brothers#Concert_tours Here's a list of the Jessie J gigs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jessie_J_concert_tours Here's a list of the The Veronicas gigs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Veronicas_concert_tours Many more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=20&offset=20&redirs=0&profile=default&search=list+of+concerts If these artists merit a dedicated page of concert listings, Matt Finish also does. Matt Finish had a longer career than many of these acts and played more gigs to more people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.5.31 (talk) 27 December 2012 (UTC)

This is essentially a case of "other stuff exists". We're discussing the Matt Finish article here, not those other ones. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC).[reply]
