Significance of this page?

Is there any significance or notability to this tour? This created the basis for the Monster Ball tour. Why not add to that page?Stephenjamesx(talk)16:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This page should be deleted. This tour did no go ahead and should only be briefly mentioned and added to the Monster Ball Tour under its own section. Too many insignificant pages in regards to Lady Gaga are being created especially in relation to songs which were not even singles nor have any significance. Far too many in my opinion and this is another one.JWAD^{Communicate|Nicely}23:03, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i agree too, this tour never happened, its not like we should add the the bionic tour, to christina aguileras page, no, because it was canceled, this page needs to be deledted!! --Mathiassandell(talk)09:06, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge discussion

This page failsWP:N:the tour never came to fruition. This page does not need to be here. Canceled tours have never been allowed to stay as articles on this site and this is a canceled tour. There is no need for this to have its own page at this time.Stephenjamesx(talk)17:09, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would saynoto merge. At present it has enough content to warranty an article with enough meat and notability to stand on its own. Stephen, your assertion is wrong that cancelled tours are not allowed. Look at MJ's This is It series of concerts. If it passes notability, it can stay and this one definitely does due to the Kanye controversy and the aftermath. —Legolas^(talk2me)17:25, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Quick opposeper Lego, and the fact that was supposed to be a tour by Lady GagaANDKanye West. The Monster Ball was going to happen regardless of this tour being cancelled. You have absolutely no reasoning for this article to be merged in the first place, other than what is an obvious case ofWP:IDONTLIKEIT.—Status{^talk_contribs03:39, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
