My main points of concern were raised last month on the talk page last month, with two main points:
1) Notability- I'm not quite sure what the notability criteria is for certain sports, so maybe others will be helpful here, but now I'm questioning the tour's actual notability. While I believe it's one of the first major East Coast tours of Monster Jam and included double backflip/front flip attempts the first few years, I have no clue if it passes any sort of notability beyond that.
2) Original research- As I also explained on the talk page, the 'Path of Destruction' name seemingly hasn't been used since the 2015 tour, so continuing to add results of events 2016-beyond is seemingly just original research at this point. If it's decided to keep (rather than delete) this article, then likely at least the information for those years should be removed. Magitroopa (talk) 18:06, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect to Monster Jam - No evidence of independent notability from a WP:PAGEDECIDE perspective. Appears to be largely unsourced. A WP:BEFORE search shows that while Monster Jam is notable, it is primarily notable as an entertainment spectacle and not as a sporting event. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 13:08, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Monster Jam per above as lacks refs for a seprate page. Jaysonsands (talk) 08:46, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Monster_Jam#Tours per above. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 18:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Monster_Jam#Tours, where some small degree of summary may be appropriate. There is insufficient evidence supplied of notability as established by independent coverage: virtually every single citation in the article is a page on the Tour's own official website, combined with just one or two indirect, passing references in a couple of other sources, which are really directed at the overarching motorsport, rather than this tour in particular. Unless further support in the form of WP:RS arises, a delete and redirect is the most appropriate option here. SnowRise let's rap 02:22, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
