List of progressive rock supergroups

Overly narrow criterion for a list. No really clear definition as to what progressive rock constitutes for the former, no sources for either. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:29, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. Note that there was a previous attempt to delete List of grunge supergroups that failed to reach consensus: Articles for deletion/List of grunge supergroups. I've tried to do some work on List of progressive rock supergroups and added a citation, but the article could certainly do with more. I'm not certain I understand the criticism of "Overly narrow criterion": given how long List of progressive rock supergroups is, it's hard to see it as a narrow criterion! I also don't understand the criticism that there is no clear definition as to what progressive rock constitutes: there isn't in the article, but there's a lengthy discussion of that in the progressive rock article.

 * What I mean by "overly narrow" is why just lists of supergroups in these genres but not a list of general supergroups? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That seems to be a reason for creating some other articles, not a reason to delete these two. Given the length of these two articles, a List of supergroups would be unwieldy anyway. Lists of supergroups in other genres might be desirable (List of punk supergroups anyone?) and having these two lists isn't stopping those being created.

 * Keep. Prog rock has had a greater tendency towards supergroup formation than other genres, so I think the scope is appropriate.  Wasted Time R (talk) 20:55, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've put some work into adding citations to the prog page and they're out there, so I like it's possible for this article to improve in quality and there is no strong reason to delete it. Bondegezou (talk) 12:51, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
