This is a recreation of Summer 2022 (Christina Aguilera) which was deleted per the discussion here. As per the principles of WP:HAMMER, this "tour" doesn't have a name because its not a cohesively marketed set of performances or events. The name is not correct - its sourced from a peice of merchandise that was made available from the tour shop - the name of her ninth album Aguilera and the subtitle Tour 2022. A vague link to a tweet from the artist references EU/UK Summer Series but again this is not the name used for this article. Furthermore, Xtina's website calls it European tour 2022. There's no single press release or marketing that refers to the tour by title other than a working name to describe the dates.
Its a disparate collection of events tied together solely by the fact they happened over a close period of time but not specifically in promotion of a set body of work (although one was released alongside the tour). Fans are desperately trying to portray a co-ordinated and marketed jaunt of events under a cohesive name and theme which simply isn't the case. None of the ticket listings, or critics coverage mention a tour title, marketing under a brand or theme or anything which makes them cohesive. Too much WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS. The whole background section is not even relevant and could be deleted. The whole thing needs hammering once again if not speedy deleted for effectively recreating a deleted article under a different title.
Would possibly consider a move to EU/UK Summer Series an acceptable compromise given the artist tweeted some marketing material to this effect but again its minimal coverage and could be Hammered given the lack of clarity. I did consider speedy deletion as recreation of previously deleted article but felt a discussion was merited. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 18:50, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - Given the marketing material on the artist's social media, a move to EU/UK Summer Series should be better, similar to other artists' festival tours, e.g., Kylie Minogue's Summer 2019. — FredYYoo (talk) 23:44, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Keep — I agree with the notion to move it back to EU/UK Summer Series as the name, The Aguilera Tour, has not been sourced in any notable sources. However, even then, I would question the validity of this even being a tour. Sure it is a group of performances or as you say "a disparate collection of events". Therefore, I would also support the notion of deletion altogether and just mention this on her main page or on List of Christina Aguilera concert tours.

- Keep — The article should be moved to "Christina Aguilera: EU/UK Summer Series", exactly like it is named in this official tweet from Aguilera herself. Obviously it should not be deleted at all, since it's a successful tour by a major artist. Many shows were sold outs (including the Scarborough one, as sourced by TeessideLive), and it has received positive reviews and big media coverage (from Liverpool Echo, The Times, Metro, BBC, among other websites).
