  • Delete per nom. This isn't fancruft, it's superduperfancruft. -- Kicking222 17:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. I am one of the regular contributors/editors of the main article Phish and even being a huge fan, I know that this isn't what Wikipedia should be used for. There are MANY fan webpages such as Phish.net, Phantasy Tour Phish, ect. through links on the main article where this very intensive fan information can be found. I don't know how to nominate multiple articles, but there is a comprehensive list of pages just like this at Phish tours. --Moeron 20:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. Strong Keep, Clean, and Expand Also a main contributor on the Phish page, I think these are slightly akin to having a separate page for each Simpsons episode. In their current form they seem to be a compendium of setlists which would be EXTREMELY redundant of information found in about a billion places online, but I think that they can eventually become encyclopedic with the inclusion of such things as Special Guests, any antics by the band, etc. I think detailed information regarding one of the largest live acts of all time is not something to be deleted lightly. —  MusicMaker 20:15, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information More suitable for a fan web site or offical site, where it should already exist if the information is verifable (no sources are given in article), and if it isn't there, it's original research.

  • Delete, I'd say keep if it was actually about the tour, but this is just a list of phish setlists. Night Gyr 21:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Right now, sure, it's a list of set lists, but you're failing to see what the articles could eventually become. There is a tremendous amount of work that needs to be done in the Phish category and there are a few dedicated editors attempting to reel in the monstrosity it has become. With some diligence, these articles will become encyclopedic. Someone has taken great pains to start the articles, misguided though it might be, and I would really hate to lose the information. —  MusicMaker 18:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
