[edit] CCM article structure

Most articles about CCM artists have poor structure. As of now, most of the pages have hardly any info about the artist's personal life. If it does, it is simply mixed along with all the other information.

The proposed structure guideline is the following:

'''CCM artist''' is ... (preferably per [[WP:LEAD]])

==Musical career==
Some info about how he or she started, major relevent events, and general artist bio, related to the music (personal bio is included below). If there is enough information, sub-headings should be considered:

===Early years===
This is an OPTIONAL section. If there is not enough info to make a section, it should be
included under ==Musical career==.

===Music===
The style of music, important albums, etc should be expressed here. This is also OPTIONAL
with the same condition as above.

===Influences===
The effect the subject has had on the music industry (specifically CCM or as a whole), other music styles, popular culture, or other noteworthy contributions.

==Personal life==
Here you should write info about the artists' personal life. For bands of more than one person, keep this section limited or nonexistant, keeping details on the respective band member's article.

==References==
