Redirect The Blue Velvet's and The Golliwogs to this article?[edit]
The Blue Velvet's and The Golliwogs share the same four members, so unless there is something I am missing, I feel as if those articles could be turned into redirects that point to here with any relevant info from those articles put into this one where appropriate. We could also add those names to an Also known as section in the info box and update the years active from 1967-1972 to 1959-1972. Let me know what you all think of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moline1 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- I would only add that regarding the years active information, I would suggest 1964-1972, as the Golliwogs were clearly an early version of CCR but The Blue Velvets (a.k.a. Tommy Fogerty & the Blue Velvets) were essentially a backing band to a Tom Fogerty solo project. So I would definitely merge the Golliwogs with CCR, and even do the same with their discographies, while leaving The Blue Velvets page alone, or if we do merge it to make a clear distinction (e.g. on the CCR discography, place the Velvets' material at the end as trivia, rather than at the beginning to imply it's part of the timeline). Just my opinion. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 02:37, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- The reasoning for the merge appears sound. I could go either way on YouCanDoBetter's suggestion, although I would lean towards treating the Blue Velvets as pre-CCR and not unique. No worries.THX1136 (talk) 00:41, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- makes sense — Ched (talk) 18:32, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Looks like we have a good consensus on the merger. Unless someone else has an objection to this merger, I think it is safe for it to go ahead. Moline1 (talk) 22:41, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- I don't have an objection, I just suggest that if we are going to change the band's "years active" information, to change it to 1964-1972 rather than 1959-1972, as it seems to me that the Golliwogs was the first incarnation of these four men forming a band together, as opposed to the earlier years with Tom Fogerty and his backing band. But either way there doesn't need to be separate articles. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 22:53, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- I went ahead and redirected the articles. Relevant info not in this article has been included and I made the years active 1959-1972 as Tom Fogerty wasn't an original member of The Blue Velvets and did not join them until 1960 plus the articles make them out as a Creedence predecessor band.
