Talk:Curiosa

from VfD:

Is this really notable? There are hundreds of tours every year in every country -- what makes this one special? -- Karada 19:14, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • I'm mixed (partly because I like some of these bands). If perhaps it could be expanded to include a full schedule of cities, as well as perhaps notes on anything unique that happened, I'd say keep. On the other hand, The Cure seems to be the only band of any major note, and it does admit that the "lesser" bands changed all the time, which could lead us to a big page full of redlinks and then loads of VfDs as all those bands suddenly get one-sentence pages. If no real expansion is possible or available, I'll go delete and strikeout my keep vote. Inky 19:22, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: I can like or dislike the bands, but it's just a tour, and we missed it. I really liked The Residents, and I saw them on their 13th anniversary tour, but the tour wouldn't deserve an article, even if it was extremely rare for them to perform at all. Geogre 19:43, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect to The Cure and write one sentence in that article which says they had this tour name. RickK 00:08, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
    • It's not just a Cure tour, they were just headlining. --fvw* 11:16, 2004 Nov 27 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, cleanup instead. --fvw* 11:16, 2004 Nov 27 (UTC)
  • Keep yeah it may be an insignificant tour, but the point of wikipedia is to have a little information about everything
  • Delete. The point of Wikipedia is to have a little information about everything important.
  • Keep. This is not a Cure tour but a festival featuring the Cure and bands influenced by the Cure. In that way, it is similar to Ozzfest or the Lilith Festival for example. [1] Festivals such as Lollapalooza, Ozzfest and the Lilith Festival have played a significant part in pormoting the artists involved in it. The Washington Post in an article of 4 November said that the participation of Interpol in Curiosa raised its profile 2 According to Chart Attack in Canada 3 and the Boston Globe 4, the Festival has had a strong positive effect on the reputation of Muse in North America. I understand that this Festival is to be a yearly event.Capitalistroadster 10:04, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's attracted major media attention, and probably has tons of fans. Wikipedia could use more stuff like this. The article could stand to be better though.- Lifefeed 16:10, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Tours and concerts need to reach a high bar of notability for inclusion. This tour seems to lack any historical or cultural signifigance. Indrian 04:18, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)
