Not sure if this satisfies WP:NPOV because: (1) this covers a very short duration of Taylor Swift's career (2006-2008 vs. 2006-present), and (2) this sort of information can be safely incorporated into the existing List of Taylor Swift live performances.

- Keep: As I mentioned in the talk page, the article for her live performances is very long and I believe this is notable enough for its own article. The article is for her whole career, the reason it only covers 2006-2008 is because that is the time period where Swift was an opening act; she has not been one since then.

- Merge and Delete - as an unneeded fork and an unlikely search term. As the nominator notes, this can be covered in Swift's live performance article. Any other content about what her early career was like can be covered in her bio article. Ultimately, there is nothing which would dictate that this particular group of performances has standalone notability. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 14:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merge into her main article is fine. I'd !keep this if it was more substantive, it's basically just a long list/chart with some prose. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merge with List of Taylor Swift live performances. Her gigography is not extensive at all, 245 references sounds OK considering it is a list article. I additionally suggest looking List of Coldplay live performances for a possible option in how pre-fame shows can be catalogued. GustavoCza ( talk • contribs) 21:03, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per above and delete. A list of who Swift opened for and when is fine but not each date broken down and not in a stand-alone list. This amounts to an amalgamation of the primarys acts' tour sets parsed out for Swift's appearances without any details on Swift's contributions to the tours themselves.

- Merge as per Ippantekina. This is not the case where the daughter article is of a widely covered topic. The mother article can accommodate this one.

- Merge per nom. The page could very easily be incorporated into the list of live performances. Questions? four OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:18, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
