comment

I've expanded this page greatly, but there is little obvious objective way of defining what is and is not a prog rock supergroup, nor are there many citations in the article. Nonetheless, I think it is an interesting and useful article. I've also added a list of abortive supergroups of historical interest even if they didn't tour or release anything. Should they go here or somewhere else? Bondegezou 10:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wondering about the omission of the Motor City Mad Man and the boys... DAMN YANKEES. Ted "free-for-all, NRA mutha.....,"Nugent - Guitars; Tommy Shaw (Styx alumni) - guitars, vocals; Jack Blades (Night Ranger alumni) - Bass, vocals; Michael Cortellone (Shaw's solo band) - drummage. Two very succesful albums - "Self-titled" and "Don't Tread."

Respect the Nuge!!!!

Notable of all time?

I have a question- is this page only for the most notable supergroups, as strongly implied by the title, or is it for any rock supergroup that has an article in Wikipedia? If the latter is the case, the title should be changed. 3family6 12:29, 22 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3family6 (talk • contribs)

The title makes no reference to this article being only for the "most notable" supergroups. As I see it, it is for any (progressive rock) supergroup that is sufficiently notable to warrant mention in Wikipedia. Bondegezou (talk) 13:54, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry, you mean the first sub-heading, don't you! Good point -- I'll change that now. Bondegezou (talk) 13:56, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I meant the first subheading, sorry about the confusion. Thank you!--3family6 22:20, 22 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3family6 (talk • contribs)

This site isn't reliable so I removed the entry that used this reference. Sikonmina (talk) 17:07, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bondegezou: you restored the entry with jazzarchives which isn't reliable either. Sikonmina (talk) 17:59, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Sikonmina you could assist in finding a suitable citation? Bondegezou (talk) 20:57, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The vast majority of the entries don't have citations. If you can find ones which mention that they are/was a supergroup then it should be eligible for inclusion on this article. If not, it might warrant deletion. Sikonmina (talk) 18:05, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see this article as a hotbed of misinformation. It's a list article. The relevant citations are often on the articles for the different bands and projects. You could find relevant citations there and bring them over if you want them here too. Bondegezou (talk) 18:44, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Everything needs to have a reference unless it is common knowledge. People can simply add a reference regardless of its truthfulness. Sikonmina (talk) 19:15, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that everything needs a reference; but, as Bodegezou says, the references can be found in the individual articles for each supergroup in this list (e.g. there are no references about the band Strontium 90 in this list, but I just need to follow the link to their article to find them or, if needed, including additional references or asking for them). Explicit references may be needed, nevertheless, for bands with no article of their own.--Gorpik (talk) 07:04, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add the reference from the band article to this article. Sikonmina (talk) 19:48, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
