Restructured, organised and added many links. However, couldn't find useful references to the following artists in the original stub and have thus temporarily removed them. If anyone knows what work specifically is considered to be a superfiction, please add the reference and move them back in, simply stating the name is not really enough.
Artists that were named in the stub without reference to actual work (and I couldn't find anything pertinent on the Web):
- Billy Apple (New Zealand)
- DAMP (Australia) ... reference [1] is completely nondescript
- Stephen Hurrell (Scotland)

I've removed the following two references:
- Sasha Baron Cohen created his character Borat as an actual person, doing television interviews and making all appearances in character
- Spinal Tap was a joke band that were featured in a documentary, toured, put out albums, and also did all media interviews in character
I think they are irrelevant to the artistic/philosophical subject of the article. Borat was never intended to be anything other than comedy; as such it is more in league with other spoofs and mockumentaries than with superfictions. "Spinal Tap" may be a similar phenomenon, although this is more borderline. Comments welcome.
