I've listed this article for peer review because I'm not sure if it is capable of achieving GA status, so any comments on how to best improve would be appreciated. I know it's quite short and there is a lack of prose.

Looking at several concert tour GAs - including ones for Madonna (Drowned World Tour, Re-Invention World Tour, Confessions Tour), Mariah Carey (Butterfly World Tour), Britney Spears (The M+M's Tour), Lady Gaga (The Fame Ball Tour, The Monster Ball Tour), Gwen Stefani (Harajuku Lovers Tour), and Miley Cyrus (Wonder World Tour) - there appear to be some common characteristics:

"Background" - interviews/articles discussing plans to tour, announcements of tour dates, reports of ticket sales/venue sellouts.
"Synopsis" - what the shows typically consisted of, including themes, costumes, choreography, setlists and encores, etc.
"Reception" - reviews from journalists/critics, and commercial reception is useful as well (how much the tour grossed).
"Broadcasts and recordings" (optional) - Some of the GAs have this section, which includes related DVD releases and/or TV broadcasts.
"Personnel" (optional) - Some of the GAs have this section, which includes a listing of the band, production team, etc.

Now looking at the Rihanna: Live in Concert Tour article, I think the "Opening Act", "Setlist", and "Tour Dates" sections look good (assuming the "citation needed"s are cleaned up). As for the next step, I suggest adding sections of prose ("Background", "Synopsis", "Reception") and expanding the lead so that the article is comparable to Britney's The M+M's Tour article. I hope this helps. Gongshow ^Talk 18:28, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
