Note: Because classifying music by subgenre can be arbitrary, many artists appear on multiple lists of music genres. Furthermore, artists listed have had reputable album releases and are widely accepted by DJs and fans of Christian EDM worldwide as electronic artists.
, outright admits that the idea is completely nebulous and impossible to verify.
How exactly is Owl City a "Christian dance" artist? How is Amy Grant one when just one of her albums was remixed in that fashion? How is Casting Crowns one for "various songs"? Why are dance, electronic, and techno being conflated in this list? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:41, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I clicked on one of the links. And Then There Were None (band) says in the infobox they are Christian metalcore, and have been on the Billboard Christian Albums chart. Seems like an easy way to determine who should be on the list. But then later in the article it says that other than the drummer, the rest of the band is are atheist or agnostic. So not sure about this now. There are 11 lists of Christian bands by genre at List of Christian bands and artists by genre. Dream Focus 04:02, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Wikipedia is not for genres made up one day, especially when the definition is meaningless. Owl City? Oh yeah that’s a Christian music project just because Adam Young is Christian [sarcasm]. Dronebogus (talk) 06:18, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete due to four different poorly defined terms. "Christian" is being used here for acts that actively promote themselves as such but also for others in which one or two band members have professed their personal religious beliefs. "Dance", "Electronic", and "Techno" serve no useful purpose in being mashed together in this list and some of the acts don't fall into any of them. The whole thing just doesn't work as a "group" or "set" as required at WP:NLIST. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
