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 was keep. The discussion is a bit light on policy based arguments, but Status's post swings the consensus. Additional discussion about the article name (or a merger) can continue in the normal course. Mojo Hand (talk) 20:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Violates WP:SYNTH as none of the given sources explicitly mention a tour. Gaga and Bennett will perform at a series of venues, but no tour has ever officially been announced. After being redirected previously and later restored, I am now taking it to AFD. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:09, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. It's definitely not a tour in the conventional sense, so the current title is wrong and the boilerplate "... is the first co-headlining tour by ..." language and count of 'legs' and so on are inappropriate. But it is a series of concert appearances focused on a particular artistic notion. Maybe it could be framed as Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga concert appearances or something like that.

• Strong deleteNeutral – This is fancruft at its worst possible. Everything about this article, including the name, image etc are fabricated by fanboys trying to create a tour page when nothing has ever been announced by the artist or their label. And to reply to Waster Time R's query, the dates as well as info can easily be merged at the parent Cheek to Cheek album article, it does not warrant any separate mention. They are what they are, just live performances and appearances across select venues throughout the US. Doesn't make them any different from say appearing on a show like The View. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 04:52, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still on the fence with this but changed to neutral seeing Status' assertion and the source he mentioned. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 05:31, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

* Note to closing admin: If this results in delete, please also delete Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga Live, which I've just deleted under A10, but then redirected to this article.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:37, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: It may be true that this is not a conventional tour, but I do foresee there being plenty of media coverage for these performances. So, while the article's current title may not be most appropriate, there may be an alternative. I think I am agreeing with what Wasted Time R is saying above. IndianBio, it is different than appearing on The View because television appearances like that are one-offs. This is clearly a series of related performances. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 05:37, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or merge - The article should either be kept, or merged with Cheek to Cheek (album), as the tour is named after this album. --Jax 0677 (talk) 06:21, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and rename to Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga Live, which is the name provided on Gaga's website. This is the very definition of a tour (a series of concerts by an artist or group of artists in different cities or locations). — Status (talk · contribs) 07:07, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here's a reference about the first 2 shows being the start of a tour. — Status (talk · contribs) 07:27, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep cmon.. we know that this tour is now ongoing and has tour dates so i hope ARTICLE FOR DELETION tag of that page be removed zlouiemark ^{[ T ] [ C ]} 14:20, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Per the comments above. It's obvious this is a tour. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 15:12, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or rename. I'm not 100% sold on the name, but the topic is sufficiently notable to be kept. Andrew³²⁷ 14:57, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
