[edit] Rush band members

Rush band members (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article is a collection of lists, and serves as a content fork with History_of_Rush#The_early_days_.281968.E2.80.931974.29. THe lists were removed by consensus[1] from Rush (band), at which time they were taken to this new article. ThuranX 11:50, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete To me, it seems a content fork both of the link above and of Rush (band)#Band members, which sets out the member list far more succinctly. (Is there a reason why Lindy Young is not listed at the main band page? According to History of Rush, there does seem to be cause for his inclusion?) The Rush band members list also supplies no context for "Hadrian", which appears rather out of the blue in the middle. I don't believe it adds to an understanding of either article in its current form, though it does make me curious why Lindy seems to be excluded. :) --Moonriddengirl 15:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, content fork, redundant to Rush (band)#Band members. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 17:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge back into whatever article about the band Rush that this came from. Can't Alex Lifeson get along with anyone? Mandsford 21:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

• KEEP: I feel that the list should stay. It displays all of the incarnations Rush has gone through, including the "Hadrian" period. It is very comprehensive and consistent, and shows all the line-ups Rush has gone through for those who want to know the truth about Rush's past. If people don't like it, then they can refer back to the poorly made band members section on the Rush page. It also shows how there was a period where the band dubbed the name "Hadrian". Leaving this out will most likely also leave out the incarnations of Rush before Hadrian, and this should be noted how these eras were. This one is very detailed and should stay. Lastly, this page shows current & former members of Rush in a very quick-and-easy fashion, rather than have the reader go through a whole page just to figure out the band's members, or look at a short list and have to guess which members played together.

• Delete Extraneous and redundant per the Main article. Integration is unnecessary as History of Rush hosts the information in a more detailed manner. Wisdom89 23:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per ThuranX and Wisdom89's comments. Peter Fleet 01:43, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

• STAY; it says basically states everything about all the current & former members in a quick and easy way. I agree with that heavymetal4ever person about if you don't like it, don't read it! In the long run it saves time because it is a neat and comprehensive list. In ways it's like the band members section on the Rush page. It simply combines the factual information on the band members and organizes them into one place. The difference is, this one shows ALL of the various line-ups of Rush, including even minor members. Whereas I agree they aren't as important as Geddy, Alex, and Neil, they are a part of the band's past and should be mentioned to those who want to know the truth of Rush's members. 69.148.68.58 02:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC) — 69.148.68.58 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Delete as a content fork. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 03:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 23:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Rush as an unnecessary additionnal page in which the info can be easily merged (if it isn't already) to the main article.--JForget 23:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As a separate article this is a content fork, but this table would fit nicely in History of Rush. / edg ☺ ★ 22:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
