[edit] Tenacious D's 2006-07 Tour

Tenacious D's 2006-07 Tour (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Nothing notable enough about this tour to make it worthy of getting its own article Joltman 19:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Just another random tour from what I can tell. Most groups do not have pages for their tours. TonyTheTiger 19:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Firstly, can I just state that I made this. Please keep this article up for a while for the other mods to decide. I think this article is worthy, for a couple of reasons:
    • This is probably a farewell tour
    • Other bands (like Coldplay and ahem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Concert_tours) have these articles.
    • The concerts (and I know this sounds biased) are more than simply vehicles for performing songs, they are also almost plays in themselves, in that they reenact the film.
    • I have cited this a bit too

Thanks anyway, I am interested in your response. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Digitaltam (talk • contribs) 19:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC).

  • Weak Keep The tour appears to be notable through the sources at the bottom, which seem to be reliable sources. —ShadowHalo 20:14, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. There are currently over 300 concert tour articles in Wikipedia, as you can see from Category:Concert tours. They vary in quality, but this one sounds like it can easily become a quality, notable concert tour article for the reasons the editor has given above. Wasted Time R 21:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as above--Slogankid 21:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - just because there are 300 others, doesn't mean this one should be included. If it is the farewell tour, then I would be inclined to abstain, but "probably" doesn't cut it with me. --Midnighttonight (rendezvous) 21:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Not just another random tour. It is notable because Tenacious D is not a "band" in the traditional sense--It's made up of two actors, one of whom is a huge Hollywood star, so it's not like they go on tour all the time. I would say this tour is pretty rare, and was more than likely conceived to coincide with the release of their movie. Wavy G 22:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Tenacious D This is not a band which tours intensively, like Phish or Dave Matthews Band. The paragraph describing the stage setup and performance of this tour can easily be merged into the band's main article. Milchama 12:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Tenacious D rock my socks. There is nothing wrong with this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chedz (talk • contribs) 18:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
  • Well, just now the majority says keep the page. Is it okay if you took the delete sign off, and gave me a chance to improve this page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.157.159.112 (talk) 18:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
  • Strong Keep. Tenacious D is a band like any other, no problem with this article--will probably become a strong article in a few years.Publicus 18:45, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Pointless. They're a side-vehicle for a Hollywood actor.Famous Mortimer 22:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Tenacious D was around before they were famous. Milchama 12:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - a concert tour will of course get reported on in music magazines and publications. This provides verifiability, but I remain unconvinced of notability. There is nothing in the article that identifies why this tour is of particular note or stands out. If this really were the farewell tour, I might be persuaded but this is onyl speculation. -- Whpq 17:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
