[edit] The Blackout Tour

The Blackout Tour (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Looks like a hoax. No references...I've been checking the dates and the facilities...so far I've been able to find that the Bell Centre in Montreal is already booked for another event on the day of the "concert"...I also find it highly implausible that she would play in arenas all over the world, but only in a night club in Toronto...and play in Portugal a day and a half after playing in Quebec...

  • Not to mention the way the news has been going these days...I would think Britney going on tour would be front page CNN news... --SmashvilleBONK! 00:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - people have been attempting to add this to the main Blackout article all week. There has been no announcement and no sources are ever provided. Delete until confirmed by her management. - eo (talk) 01:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Password16 (talk · contribs), the hoaxer responsible for Mexican Hot 100, has been making a series of edits to this page which include removing the afd tag and adding a self-made image with a link to a page which does not support the image.

  • Delete per utter failure of WP:V, and block contributor if at all possible at this point. --Dhartung | Talk 05:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, almost certainly a hoax. I checked a bunch of the websites of venues listed in this article: American Airlines Arena (Miami, FL), Phoenix Concert Theatre (Toronto, ON) and O2 Arena (London) all have absolutely no mention of this tour. Centre Bell (Montreal, QB), however, has something different listed for 2008-05-30, the alleged date of this tour stopping there: see [1]. So does Manchester Evening News Arena on 2008-06-21: see [2]. Given these facts, given the lack of references, and given User:Password16's history of unreliable edits and flat-out hoaxes, this has got to be deleted. --Stormie (talk) 06:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete: Wasn't this on AfD a day or two ago? Either we've got rapid recreation or just a hoax that's still there. (I wonder if she plans to black out at every venue?) Utgard Loki (talk) 17:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment...it's also been brought up on the talk page that Britney has no management...which you kind of need to set up a tour for you... --SmashvilleBONK! 21:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
