Per WP:CONCERT, non-notable tours of notable artists don't deserve articles. Dylanvt (talk) 23:41, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article was written a long time ago when the WP expectations regarding sourcing and inline citing were a lot different than they are now. So it has definitely needed a refurbishment in those respects. But the tour was definitely notable, and I have now expanded the lede with a description of why it was so different, with everything cited to books and stories in major newspapers. And there are plenty more sources that are untapped, both in old newspapers articles – Newspapers.com didn't exist when the article was first written, and it is full of accounts of shows on the tour – and in books – there are several dozen books on one aspect of Springsteen or another, many published in recent years, and several of them discuss this tour.

Keep. There’s a lot of unsourced material in the article but the ‘critical and commercial reception’ section looks solid enough to me. Mccapra (talk) 04:31, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
