Rush equipment[edit]

This is nothing but a list of gear used by the band Rush; a big list composed entirely of primary sources. I think that this is just trivia and can't possibly be externally sourced. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 12:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Page was created as a splinter page when the main article went through its FA process. The band's fanbase is mainly advanced musicians who would come to Wikipedia looking for this type of information. But it is too much information for main band article.

Keep Interesting/informative article. Too much information for the main Rush page. Libs (talk) 02:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, although third party sourcing would be a good idea, to establish not only what they use, but why they use it. With proper sourcing, this could be turned into an actual article, as opposed to just a list. Umbralcorax (talk) 14:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Anger22. Expansion would be nice, though. Sceptre ^(talk) 18:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
While the concept of expanding this to discuss the use of the equipment for each band member would be interesting, I don't think it's feasible. I mean, how much can you say about why Alex uses a Dunlop Crybaby wah pedal, or any of the other effects? In addition, the sourcing is only to the group's website. Merge content to the individual musicians' pages, rather than the Rush article. (If kept, consider moving this to a more coherent or descriptive title.)

Comment- The information is out there, and probably not that hard to find. I've got an issue of Guitar Legends in front of me on the band, and among other articles, there's one where Alex discusses what guitars he used on various songs, and why. Also, there was a big to-do a few years ago when Neil switched over to Sybian cymbals after using Zildjian for so long. Information for that should be available as well.
