Merge to On an Island#Tour and WP:SALT, straight away. Edit war should be stopped, another WP:RUNOFTHEMILL tour article, Onel5969 have quoted "not enough sources in this article to pass WP:VERIFY, and as per WP:BURDEN, do not re-add uncited material." Originally a redirect to an artist page, but not long now, the parent album page should be a suitable target once it is merged and redirected. 2600:1700:9BF3:220:BD8D:8A7D:DBFE:95E4 (talk) 03:36, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  A personal account of attending one of the shows, with commentary placing the show in historical context. Excerpt: "In 2006, a buddy of mine and I flew to Los Angeles to see David Gilmour's On An Island tour at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. We specifically chose that venue because we felt that it was one of the best venues to see the show in the United States, being one of the smaller stops on the tour. Richard Wright was on the tour, sharing the stage with Gilmour. The show was incredible... Hearing Richard Wright and David Gilmour play live together, you could hear their friendship in the music and how their solos and flourishes played off each other. We did not know at the time that Richard Wright was ill. It was one of his last performances."

  Excerpt: "Fittingly, the corresponding tour was a fascinating cross-section between the classic grandeur of Pink Floyd and Gilmour's newfound intimacy. A pair of London preview gigs, held on March 6 and 7, featured a blend of band staples ("Shine On You Crazy Diamond," "Comfortably Numb") and highlights from the new LP. But the true kickoff show – March 10 in Dortmund, Germany – found Gilmour settling into a comfortable flow of two separate sets: the full On an Island LP followed by a selection of wide-ranging Floyd tracks, including the Obscured by Clouds rarity "Wot's ... Uh, the Deal" and a cover of Syd Barrett's "Dominoes." ... The most memorable show, perhaps inevitably, was the last: The band played for more than 50,000 people at Poland's Gdańsk Shipyard, backed by the Polish Baltic Philharmonic. That concert, captured for the 2008 live album Live in Gdańsk, became the last Floyd-related recording to feature Wright, who died from lung cancer on Sept. 15 at age 65 – one week before the set's release."
These sources establish that this tour meets the requirements of WP:NTOUR, which state Concert tours are probably notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Such coverage might show notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms. Jfire (talk) 04:07, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
