You're adding Contemporary Christian Music artists to the list of Christian worship music artists
Right at the start of the article, it indicates that the list "is not a list of contemporary Christian music artists alone." Please do not add musicians who are not known to perform worship music. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Walter,
 * I respectfully disagree with your decision to remove both Kirk Franklin and Madissa from this list. Do you even know who they are?  Unfortunately, I think your view of Worship Music is fairly narrow.  As an African American Christian who listens to both traditional and Contemporary Gospel music (which is all basically Worship music in African American churches, Baptists, AME and CME), I am also familiar with newer artists like Tye Tribbett and Madissa, whose music also falls into the newer category of Contemporary Worship Music.  If Yolanda Adams, one my favorite and also from my hometown of Houston, is on your list, then surely Tye Tribbett, Hezekiah Walker, Mandissa and others qualify to be on the list as well.  It is very unfortunate that too many African American Worship artists are not being recognized for their work in this genre and are often strictly relegated to being labeled traditional gospel artists only.  Their reach is much farther than that. I often see it as a matter of taste. Some people like it, some people don't.  Not enough people pay attention to the up and coming African American artists 2601:282:300:8B40:C1BA:783B:8ED6:13B9 (talk) 05:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)Damita Holland
 * Yes, I know who they are. My view of worship music is fine. You seem to have conflated all Christian music with worship music. Just because a Christian is performing the music does not make it worship music. Contemporary Christian music is distinct from contemporary worship music which is distinct again from gospel music. It's got nothing to do with skin colour, it has to do with the genre of music by which they are classified. You're right, Adams should not have been listed. I have removed her as she only performs Gospel, R&B, and soul, not worship. I could see how that would confuse you. She does belong on the list of gospel musicians.
