You’ve made an incorrect assessment
The band is not a Christian band. They’ve stated multiple times that they’d rather not hold themselves in that label. This Wikipedia page has an entire section dedicated to this debacle. How was my information incorrect? Tecolotesweet (talk) 19:16, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * My assessment is correct. They have won awards in the Christian music industry. It's difficult to deny that. If they would like to be classified as Uzbekistani national music, we would not support that claim any more because it's not supported with reliable source other than the band's wishes. That's the same case here. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:49, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Retort
If they won a kid’s choice award, would that make them a children’s music group? The classification should come from the subject matter of their music which very rarely in the past 7 years has had any religious implication. Tecolotesweet (talk) 14:14, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * What? If they won a kid's choice award for children's music, then yes, it would make them a children's music group. Since that's not one of the awards, no. What you're apparently confused about is why a band that won a Christian Rock award are considered a Christian Rock band when the band itself has been told by its management to downplay the "Christian" part of their performance to try to win a larger audience.
 * The analogy that I think you were trying for is, if they claim they're a Klezmer band, does that make them one? And according to WP:V, only if reliable sources support that claim. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:06, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Further point
Fugees won a Kid’s Choice Award in 1997. Should we edit their page to say that they’re a children’s music group? Tecolotesweet (talk) 14:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It seems that they won the 1997 Kids' Choice Awards award for "favorite group", so that makes them a music group. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:08, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
