Exo from Exoplanet: The Lost Planet[edit]

This is at heart nothing but a calendar combined with a tour schedule. WP:NTOUR requires extensive, in-depth discussion of the tour as a whole. In short, the tour needs to be discussed, another way of saying "existence does not equate notability". Drmies (talk) 00:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, we've been here before. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Exo: The Lost Planet, which for reasons I can't fathom (except for typically reliable editors having forgotten our notability guidelines) was closes as a keep. As it turns out, the article was moved, so this is the second AfD. Let there be no misunderstanding: NTOUR requires coverage of the tour, and we don't get any of it. Let's look at them, but don't click on all these links at the same time--there is so much video advertising on all of these supposably RS sites that my netbook is on the verge of crashing. Comments are based on this version of the article.

This from Yahoo Entertainment is nothing but an announcement of a show in China in the same language of a PR news release ("comeback", etc.). No serious Wikipedia editor could call this "discussion in a reliable source".
No doubt kpopstarz.com is a reliable source of factoids and gossip for K-pop fans, but it does not suffice for Wikipedia. Open this announcement of an additional show at your own risk, given the video spam. It's a reliable announcement, no doubt. But it is nothing in the grand scheme of things; one wonders if this is what voters in the first AfD called "significant coverage in reliable sources".
Nate is well-known as a reliable source for K-pop announcements. It has a paragraph or two to offer on...well, not that much.
This is a YouTube video of a show, apparently, and that is all it is.
This is a link to SM Entertainment. Whatever it has to offer has no bearing on notability.
Formerly a link to a page on MSN copying the usual PR talk, about invading Singapore and all that jazz
Our final source is SM Entertainment's Twitter feed. Someone please tell me this is reliable coverage, in-depth discussion, etc. Drmies (talk) 00:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the exhaustive analysis by Drmies, who actually understands reliable sources related to K-Pop. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing new to add. All sources are SM-created PR, not real coverage. Shinyang-i (talk) 02:24, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I understand that the article may not have "reliable sources", but bear with us in EXO-L (the fanclub). This is actually an important to the band and us fans. Plus, the company just released the concert album, which I will add info about personally. RickMICROTECH (talk) 05:36, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per Drmies, This is Wikipedia, an encyclopedia; not a fanclub. Fylbecatulous talk 14:25, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Some of the contents in this article may be merged into the 2014 subsection of the history section in the article EXO (band). However, this article also talks about the live recorded album. Most albums with sufficient available information have their own articles anyway, so why not this one too? It's not about Wikipedia being an EXO fanclub or not. There are many articles about albums in Wikipedia, be it EXO or not. Busukxuan (talk) 16:15, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per Drmies, This is an encyclopedia; not a fanclub; being useful for the fans cannot be used as an excuse; fans can create a fanpage for that kind of things.--TerryAlex (talk) 21:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
