[edit] Christian Music?

Recently, Peterthegreat1979 (Talk), claiming to be John Mark McMillan himself, removed all statements relating the band to Christianity and Christian music from the article. While there is no way of truly confirming whether or not this user is John Mark McMillan, their edits must be taken into consideration. While there may be a conflict of interests if John Mark McMillan is editing this article, I believe that his wishes should be taken into consideration, although they are by no means the final word on the matter. In accordance with Wikipedia policy, a consensus must be built one way or the other in the article. While the wishes of the artist are by no means unimportant, what the general public considers them to be is of more importance. To quote Hoponpop69 (Talk) from a similar discussion regarding Anberlin, "The band could claim they consider themselves a norwegian death metal band, but that wouldn't make it true." I recently saw John Mark McMillan lead worship at Campbellsville University, and, to me at least, after attending that concert and listening to his music I would consider him to be a Christian band. I'd like to hear what others have to say on this matter, however. —Mears man 13:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
