Deletion of Altan concert tours

Comment: In the ideal world, this article would really just be a top-level list of tours, and each tour would have its own article complete with background, development, response, reception, that sort of thing. In that way, the articles themselves assert their |notability, and this page is a wrapper for all of them. But assuming an unideal world, I would want this article to be more than just a set of tour dates. Merely being a list of tour dates is just unacceptable to me, as I think it violates OTDIR. And again, I'm not saying that there isn't valuable information out there, and I would definitely want to include it where it's appropriate. The article you mentioned above would be more at home as a paragraph in Altan (band)#Tours

Comment: This isn't |a fan site. We have criteria for what should and should not be included. As a side note, I see that you also created Capercaillie concert tours, which Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Capercaillie concert tours|was deleted. It's the same thing here

Comment: Altan is a major band.  This article is a spinoff from the main article section Altan (band)#Tours and so the worst case is that we'd just merge back into that section.  But this would not be sensible as their extensive touring makes the schedule somewhat lengthy and it seems reasoble to have it as an appendix.  The tours are covered in numerous sources and referencing these is just a matter of routine article improvement in accordance with our |editing policy

Comment: But just because the band is notable doesn't mean that all of their tours are also inherently notable. And just because it's verifiable that they went on tour |doesn't necessarily mean it gets included. Why do we need a listing of every single show the band ever played? Isn't that what the band's website - or some other third party website - is for
