Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/...Baby One More Time Tour

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was No Consensus---KEEP. Even split between Delete, Merge, and Redircect. Not only is the Status Quo therefore the default, but we don't need all of Britney's tours cluttering up her page(there are already several subpages), so I see that as the best of the three choices anyway.Voice of All ^{@|Esperanza|E M} 03:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need articles on every concert tour by Britney Spears or anyone else. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c, +m, +e ] 01:54, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with Britney Spears (not like that's anything new). --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 01:56, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Oops delete it again.—Gaff ^ταλκ 02:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Baby delete it one more time as NN. - Sensor 02:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The Britney Spears article already notes it was her first tour. Drat - Gaff and Sensor used up all of the puns. Capitalistroadster 03:51, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, notable. Kappa 07:36, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Merge with Britney Spears. Not norable in Wiki, better on a fan page. Oyvind 07:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and re-direct to Britney Spears for now (keeping content in history). If somebody wishes to improve it, beyond a list, then undo the re-direct then. These kinds of things don't need to come AFD, since re-direct/merges can be discussed on talk pages, and done without more pointless AFDs. If done properly, I see some use in discussing who else was involved in the tour (with links), and mildly interesting details (at least for fans). Right now, it's just a useless list. --rob 08:00, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge sans playlist and tour dates --Anetode 09:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Merge with Britney Spears. Including an article on every tour is the path to insanity. ManekiNeko | Talk 10:40, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and expand. Notable as Britney Spears is very famous. See Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour, The Virgin Tour, Who's That Girl Tour, The Re-Invention Tour, Drowned World Tour, The Girlie Show Tour (not in chronological order).--Kewp (t) 10:50, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Oyvind. This level of detail belongs only on a fanpage; the main Britney Spears article already contains a mention of this tour. Suggest nominating all the Madonna tours mentioned by Kewp except for "Blond Ambition" for deletion as well. flowersofnight 13:06, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename - Baby One More Time Tour 1999 - Bwfc 18:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Trollderella 20:08, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Not notable. Ifnord 20:32, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NB. Notability is not part of deletion criteria. Trollderella 23:25, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge this outrageous toxic article back into the Britney Spears article. Grutness...wha? 00:34, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fancruft. Andrew pmk | Talk 01:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. At what point is a separate article for this tour even necessary? Yes, she is (unfortunately) superfamous, but so what? One could conceivably break this article down into separate subarticles detailing each and every stop on the tour, and so on ad infinitum. A better idea would be to merge this into the main article on Ms. Spears. If it is so important to have detailed articles on each tour, why not start a SpearsWiki? - Sensor 01:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Britney Spears or delete Denni☯ 03:18, 20 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]
• Delete. A concert tour is a one time thing, nothing special, and not notable. It had no impact anywhere and since nothing unusual happened at the concert it is soon forgotten. The songs are notable enough for mention somewhere, examples of Britney singing them are not. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep More notable than most. Hipocrite - «Talk» 15:32, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Everyking 19:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. (Previous unsigned comment by User:69.251.84.52)

• Delete per Sjakkalle. -Nameneko 02:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge: Britney Spears is notable, but its hard to imagine that an encyclopedia needs a bare list of tour dates and locations for any musician. The part of the article that is not a list should be cleaned up for POV and merged to Britney Spears. TECannon 08:59, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Important tour from Spears OmegaWikipedia2 04:27, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep --Anittas 04:29, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, Wikipedia should contain as much information as possible, if there are countless articles for people who are interested in studying cells and their structures, why cant there be countless articles for people who wish to study the life and success of Britney Spears? A concert tour is still facts and essential information to someone perhaps wishing to write about her. Ultimate Star Wars Freak 11:00, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
