 * Note: Please limit posts to this page to brief statements about the nature of the dispute until a volunteer adopts the case. Keep ongoing discussions about the topic to the appropriate talk page(s), but feel free to provide links to the talk page(s) where discussion has happened (and may be ongoing) for the convenience of the informal mediator and other parties. This will help keep discussion from fragmenting out across more pages and make it easier for a volunteer to review the case. Thanks!

What's going on?
User Landon1980 refuses to accept the genres "alternative rock" and "christian rock" being attributed to this band. Landon1980 claims that a single source, even if a reliable one and with no other sources contradicting it, is not enough to insert the genres.

What would you like to change about that?
Said genres should be inserted and left alone because they have a valid source giving them very clearly, and one user personally disagreeing is not good enough reason. Wikipedia works on sources, not editor opinions. If the source says they are alternative rock and christian rock, then they are, provided no other sources contradict them.

Mediator notes

 * Just taken case, researching and then will join discussion shortly.
 * Have given initial comments and offered some references for us to discuss
 * Have offered sources showing different genres and suggested using generic "rock band" and explaining the genres of their music in the lead section.
 * Second editor has offered opinion, waiting for further action. Holding
