This list of commercial product endorsements is almost completely unreferenced. Further, it's redundant to the "equipment" sections in the individual musicians' articles. The band as a whole identifies no specific equipment, so there's no added value in combination. Not surprisingly there are contradictions between this articles content and the individual artists.

The previous AfD raised some of these concerns but after 14 years there doesn't seem to be much progress in sourcing these statements.

It seems better to document the equipment endorsements by artist since they also do solo work and side projects outside of the band.

It's easiest to delete this article and leave the content in the artists' pages (where it already exists, and is far better-referenced). Mikeblas (talk) 20:55, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Disclosure - I like Rush. Nonetheless, longstanding convention requires that we have sources to show that this is notable and thus worth keeping in an encyclopedia. Without these sources, this is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. If there's a related business relationship/equipment endorsement that is reported, that can go in the individual artist's article.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete, I can see no evidence that this list, and the article is essentially just a list, passes WP:NLIST. Even if it theoretically did, I can see no reason why this is a necessary split from related articles. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:FAN. Good grief - insanely compendious, almost totally unsourced but IMHO wholly totally unnecessary. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:30, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
