The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. News coverage seems to be mostly in passing (a bit of it is related to a documentary about the tour, but that's a different topic and the documentary doesn't appear very notable, either). I did fine on paragraph in a book [1] and a bit longer interview [2] in another, but overall I think it seems to fall on the wrong side of notability. Perhaps someone else can find better sources? Otherwise I am afraid this was a non-notable event. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:35, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are certainly sources, back in the day in newspapers; in the film I.O.U.S.A.: [They tour the country, teaching and testifying and generally playing Cassandra (in a suit and tie) in what they call the "Fiscal Wake Up Tour.; and since in multiple books [3]. I'm wondering about an appropriate MERGE target.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:35, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: does not meet WP:NORG / WP:EVENT; significant RS coverage not found. Also fails WP:ADVOCACY with these statements (much of the article): "The combination of the "big three" entitlements (Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid)...; The unfunded federal future obligations..." Etc. Wikipedia is not a place for soapboxing or promotion. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:19, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article simply lists the statements made by the speakers on the tour, and doesn't state them as facts. That isn't advocacy or promotion. --Michig (talk) 12:29, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: doesn't seem to meet WP:EVENT nor WP:GNG MarkH21 (talk) 07:39, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
