Carnival Ride Tour[edit]

Delete. Tour itself is not notable, content is nothing more than tour dates and setlist, so WP:IINFO applies Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 01:58, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unsourced and indiscriminate. Individual tours don't usually merit articles. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I think that I am going to suggest delete for all tours unless there's a particularly special one somewhere. Myrrideon (talk) 20:43, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Yes I think we have a wider policy/guideline issue here. Where's the best place to open a discussion - the WP:MUSIC talk page? – ukexpat (talk) 21:44, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I couldn't agree more .... it is an area that could use clarification, even if my particular viewpoint is not held up by the community. I would also advise WP:MUSIC. LonelyBeacon (talk) 22:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Deletion of all tours? Including The Rolling Stones American Tour 1969? Zoo TV Tour? Blond Ambition World Tour? Rolling Thunder Revue? Bruce Springsteen with The Seeger Sessions Band Tour? The Beatles' 1965 USA Tour? And so forth, there are many very good tour articles out there, these are just a few examples. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone, including me, is saying that "all tours" should be deleted. What I think we are saying is that there should be a more clear statement on what delineates "notable tour" from "non-notable tour". To clarify my position, I think that tours are rarely notable. That is likely one side of a fringe belief (the other being: since all tours are invariably written about somewhere, all tours are inherently notable). I would not enforce my belief on the community, even though that seems to be the general direction the community is leaning. Rather, I think the policy should be clarified to avoid having to go through gut wrenching AfD's that can get contentious, and to avoid having people spend time making articles that may eventually get deleted. If the notability parameters are clarified, that should ease up some of the problems. LonelyBeacon (talk) 01:06, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - that is, if I may say so, an excellent summary of the issue. – ukexpat (talk) 02:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
