I don't mean to offend, but your input is fairly limited, personal opinion driven and of somewhat immatue. Did you say progressive rock, or did you mean progressive music...?
 
The categories are ill fitting - I'd agree with that - but it only calls for a re-name, not exclusion.
The integrity of the site is only compromised by excluding many more artists, that would easily qualify as Prog - even with no mellotrons....?

proto prog and prog-related can only be removed if the owners decide to limit the scope of prog to the core essential.

 

within each category of prog there can be found bands that are not pogitself, but without whom prog could not have excisted or progressed as a whole.

asking for a limit, is cursing IMO.

Its far, far too late to even consider removing either genre, where would all the bands go?

 

Anyway they will stay, nothing can change that.

 

(Except if M@X or Prog Lucky decide to remove either genreWink)

I don't think either should be removed.

1. Neither should nor will be removed
2. Neither is acknowledged as being part of progressive rock
3. The site is whatever the owners want it to be

There has been much discussion over the validity of these two supposed areas of prog. I believe that by having them the integrity of the site is compromised as bands that dont belong in the prog category are added.
