Tour fails WP:NTOUR. Article has no sources at all, no set list, no discussion of any aspect of the tour. I looked for sources myself and found nothing apart from two articles confirming the tour's existence. Requirement for significant coverage in independent, reliable media does not appear to have been met. These venues were all small and this is a new group, so it's very plausible this didn't make it on the radar in Japan. The first paragraph of the article doesn't make sense and appears to be copy-pasted from something else. I can't figure out a way to improve this article aside from adding a set list and some copyediting, which won't make it enough to meet NTOUR.

Comment – Searching for ["got7" "日本ツアー" OR "全国ツアー"] gets about 20 pages of results on Japanese Google. This says that total attendance was 25,000. This is a report on the final concert at Makuhari Messe, which is a major venue. That drew about 5,000. The other venues were smaller. The concert report was about what they were wearing, who danced, etc. The set list could probably be added from other articles in Japanese. I don't know how significant all of this is, as tours go. It seems like a fairly short and small one that could be handled in their article. The official site was a Twitter page. – Margin1522 (talk) 10:03, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It'd be nice if article creators would do some work like you have. I was shocked to find such little info in English. :) I was wondering what you meant when you said the official site was a Twitter page? Shinyang-i (talk) 13:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, this is the English Wikipedia. I don't know how much research we can expect people to do in other languages. Here is the Twitter page. On closer inspection it turns out to be the group's official Japanese page. Also I suspect that a lot of the action might be taking place on the mobile phone sites. Anyway, I think I'm going to abstain from !voting on this, because I don't have a good enough sense of what a notable tour is for a pop group. Obviously they're not Michael Jackson, but nobody else is either. – Margin1522 (talk) 14:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. True, nobody is Michael Jackson, but even U2 has had a notable tour or two. This isn't one, as even a cursory perusal of NTOUR demonstrates. Drmies (talk) 20:39, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and merge/redirect into Got7#Japan_Tours. I said I wasn't going to !vote on this, but after looking at the rash of other articles on K-pop tours I think we have to establish some standards here. Of the ones up for AfD now, it looks to me like WP:Articles for deletion/Big Bang Japan Dome Tour 2014 has the best case for being a notable tour. If someone wants to recreate that one once there is something to say about it, OK. But not this one. – Margin1522 (talk) 13:10, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
