This does not strike me as a notable tour at all. Drmies (talk) 01:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lovato's tours (i.e. Summer Tour, Warm Up Tour) already have their own articles, this article is a little meaningless. Sailodge (talk) 03:57, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probable keep -- these kinds of articles aren't unheard of... List of U2 concert tours, for example. But naturally, as a band of 30~ years theirs is a little more substantial. At what point would a list of this style be warranted? That's the crux of the matter, for me. But consider this: the U2 one ultimately just links them together; here it covers the tours as three of them don't have articles in their own right, probably because they couldn't warrant them. And that seems like a sensible idea in my mind. Similar to how we group many minor league baseball players under their respective teams' articles: San Francisco Giants minor league players, for example. (Didn't expect to draw that parallel when I first opened this page...) Also, it's not true that they all have their own articles -- only the one does, and there's currently a merger proposal to combine it with this article. I think this is a pretty sensible way to house them all.

With only one fork, and a (currently unopposed) merger proposal, I don't believe this is meaningless; nor, indeed do I think it's not notable. Granted, it's under-sourced right now, but that's a matter for improvement rather than deletion. Also, the nomination calls this a tour which, strictly speaking, it isn't -- it's for her tours as a whole. And I would assume that a reasonably popular (I've heard of her, anyway...) musician's tours could pass WP:N. I'm not a fan, though, so I've no idea where to look. And Googling makes it a little difficult to search through the myriad of fansites to find anything of use... Provided some can be found to establish notability, I'd definitely say we should keep this, though. Perhaps notifying WP:WikiProject Musicians would be a good idea? They're more likely to have some good ideas for sources than me, certainly.

I would propose moving it to List of Demi Lovato concert tours for consistency, though. Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 20:23, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd keep it and delete the tours. Article needs more sources btw. -Koppapa (talk) 21:39, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
