Per WP:CONCERT, non-notable tours of notable bands don't deserve articles. Also, this fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:16, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Google News shows extensive coverage for this 1984 Aerosmith tour, both at that time and in following years. The tour was notable because it was not in support of an album release, but was successful and drew attention nonetheless. Apparently, it helped revitalize their career, which had been at a low point. Cullen328 (talk) 02:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I couldn't find the google news coverage you are referring to. A couple references added to the article might go a long way in meeting WP:CONCERT. Wickedjacob (talk) 03:41, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Response Did you try the Google News tool above, which does an in-depth search of the archives? I am editing with a smart phone at the moment. I can read the sources but can't format them into references until I am at a desktop computer. Cullen328 (talk) 03:58, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Number of Google hits is not in and of itself a reason to keep. If some of those hits can establish notability of the tour and are then integrated into the article, I'd consider rescinding my AfD. – Muboshgu (talk) 13:27, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Response My argument to keep is not based on the number of Google hits, but rather on the quality of the references. Cullen328 (talk) 04:29, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm seeing coverage by a number of newspapers, although I'm not paying $2.99 to read them. WP:V only requires it is verifiable, not necessarily verified. Would appear to pass notability, unsurprisingly. Dennis Brown (talk) 14:58, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've added several sections to the article describing the notability of this particular tour, and also added six references to reliable sources. Cullen328 (talk) 04:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Cullen328's improvements seem to show that the tour meets the standard of WP:CONCERT. Wickedjacob (talk) 06:32, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per the excellent work on the update. Lugnuts (talk) 06:59, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator rescinds Cullen328 did nice work demonstrating notability of this tour. As nominator, I withdraw my delete and ask this AfD be closed as keep. – Muboshgu (talk) 12:51, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
