BLAR'd to Judas Priest in December 2022 due to notability concerns. The redirect was contested at this RfD on February 10 because there were four notable bands featured in this tour (Judas Priest, Motörhead, Heaven & Hell, and Testament), so this could not be redirected anywhere and participants agreed to take the page to AfD. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

- Found this source covering setlists and these three show reviews in a brief search. There's also quite a few articles covering the announcement ([1][2][3][4][5][6][7]). This is looking really keepable to me so far. QuietHere (talk) 07:47, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- On top of that, there's this piece from Billboard, this interview in Guitar World, a mention in Rob Halford's book, and this mention in a book on Sabbath. Dunno how much all of that contributes to notability since the mentions are fairly passing, but maybe there are some juicy details worth adding in there that I skimmed past. And there's also a cover story in Revolver which I can't find an archived copy of just yet; that's gotta be worth something. I'd be willing to vote keep based on everything I've dug up so far, especially given it wasn't entirely thorough and there could easily be even more. QuietHere (talk) 07:57, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to WP:SUSTAINED coverage in sources reflects this. We should not have an article on this tour. Redirect to Judas Priest as they were the headliners and have by far the most prominent mentions in the above references. Mentions about the tour can be added to the articles of the other bands. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 00:15, 22 March 2023 (UTC)]
- @GhostOfDanGurney Gotta be honest, it's hard to tell from this comment whether you looked at any of the sources I listed above or only at what's already in the article. Just wanna be sure you didn't miss all that. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 05:18, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- @WP:ROUTINE news coverage with little more than "hey look four big metal bands are touring together" all from spring-summer 2008. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 05:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)]
- It appears I missed the word "above" in your comment which is what threw me off. My mistake. For what it's worth, I still think the coverage is valuable (between the sheer quantity of reliable sources and especially the show reviews), but I understand the disagreement.

- Delete: Disagree with WP:NTOUR, which have been tagged as needing additional references for two years, and there is no ATD to do so. 2600:1700:9BF3:220:A88A:8D54:669C:B3C1 (talk) 03:11, 23 March 2023 (UTC)]
- This is a sound rebuttal to my ATD. My only counter is ]
- Let me set the record straight about this, if a co-headlining tour or a multiple artist headlining tour, even triple-headliner or quadruple headlining article got BLAR'd to a main headliner, which will led to RFD and then AFD. In case, the Aerosmith/ZZ Top Tour got kept in the AFD, which BD2412 have presented new sources about cancellations and setbacks on both Aerosmith and ZZ Top camps. The Aerosmith and ZZ Top co-headlining tour is hereby a notable co-headlining tour, while the Metal Masters Tour are not, due to four artists headlining the summer tour and four associated albums by their respective bands that are mentioned. Let me tag Aspects, the one who BLAR'd the most of the non-notable concert tours, in case of an opinion about the Metal Masters Tour. 2600:1700:9BF3:220:A88A:8D54:669C:B3C1 (talk) 02:44, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- I guess I'll reiterate. We can't let WP:OTHERSTUFF dictate us here. In the event this is sent back to RfD, they can be referred to this discussion. Eventually common sense would prevail and end any potential cycle that you describe. I accepted your example of the Maroon 5 tour as an example of precedent, but I have no idea why you feel the need to bring up Aerosmith/ZZ Top. The sources posted by QuietHere can be summarized to varying degrees as, "Judas Priest (and friends) are having a big tour, [check them out/this is what they played]." - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 03:05, 24 March 2023 (UTC)]
