"Christian rapper" to "rapper"

[edit]

There is an ongoing problem with the lede containing "Christian rapper" on both Therapy Session and Mansion. It is important to keep consistency upon all articles while discussing the genre of any artist. NF is a rapper, and we can all agree upon that. Evidently, the term "Christian rapper" derives from merging "Christian" and "rapper", so it would not be incorrect to just refer to any christian rapper as a "rapper", especially when this artist is not referred as such on his main article or other articles. The thing with NF is that he made what was considered at the time Christian hip hop, and was even awarded on Christian music associations, despite the fact he never referred to these two projects as such. However, him releasing albums in the past that are considered by the public "christian rap" shouldn't categorize him as a "Christian rapper", when above all things, he is just a rapper who makes secular rap music, and is virtually known by everyone as just a rapper (even himself). I personally don't see the necessity of highlighting the term "Christian rapper" on the lede when the genre in already on the Infobox, which gives information about the album itself, not the artist. Is the artist in mention considered a "Christian rapper"? That can be reflected on his main article and on literally every single article surrounding him besides the two I just mentioned. If Walter wants to make a credible point as to why he feels the need of maintaining and holding endlessly and relentlessly to never remove the "Christian" from "Christian rapper" from the lede of these two articles, besides "He was considered at the time a christian rapper by news outlets and was awarded as a christian artist", then simply explain why the article should mention this information twice, not mention just the genre of the album in the Infobox, and maintain consistency on all of this artist's article ledes? 148.103.217.14 (talk) 14:50, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is an ongoing problem in the lede where 148.103.217.14 keeps censoring "Christian" from it. At this point, he was a Chrsitian rapper. He was signed to a Christian label. That was his shtick. The infobox is a summary of the article and content in it can and should be repeated in the article. The fact that you cannot capitalize the proper noun shows clear disdain for the concept. This is not the forum to try to determine if the term is valid or if the subject has subsequently distanced himself from the term. It is what it was at the time.
Until the WP:CONSENUS changes, do not WP:EDITWAR and instead, leave the WP:STATUSQUO until a new consensus is reached. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:11, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
