"punk rock" vs "pop punk", etc

Greetings. I've added the following in-line warning text to the article regarding the controversy over the musical genre of the Hayley Williams et al. cover:

WARNING: Please do not change this to say "pop punk" or any other genre. The cited source specifically calls it a "punk rock cover", and on Wikipedia, we follow what cited sources say, not what editors think to be true. Refer to the official policies on verifiability (WP:VERIFY) and original research (WP:OR).

I added this warning because the listed genre has been changed a couple of times in the past. If any editors dissent with this decision or with my reading of official policies, please state your case here. Thank you. —Bill Price (nyb) 15:21, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

""Bed Intruder" (Pop Punk Cover)

Hayley Williams of Paramore Jordan Pundik of New Found Glory Ethan Luck of Relient K Recorded in Nashville, TN at Ethan's house.

Thank you to Antoine Dodson and The Gregory Brothers"

Ummm... notice how the cited source says "(Pop Punk Cover)" directly in the description. -_- Occamsrazorwit (talk) 19:32, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

This is the source cited in the article. It does not say "Pop Punk" at any point. If you have another source that uses that phrase, feel free to cite it in the article. —Bill Price (nyb) 21:03, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 216.171.13.223, 27 October 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Add that Antoine Dodson also has a commercial promoting an iPhone Application reguarding sex offenders. It even cites wikipedia in the commercial (as a joke) http://www.tonic.com/article/bed-intruder-sex-offender-app-commercial-antoine-dodson/

Not done: Please write the section you want added and post it here. We will then add it to the article. Thanks, Stickee (talk) 21:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Why?

...if this article has failed AfD, is it here still?

most blatant case of 'this person is not notable' i've ever seen on here 129.11.76.230 (talk) 16:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Kept per second nom. Thanks for your interest. —Bill Price (nyb) 16:40, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

should have gone after the 1st one, surely? think it needs another AfD debate... 129.11.77.198 (talk) 21:15, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Feel free to nominate it, then. You have the power to do so. If you're not familiar with how Wikipedia works, here's an introduction. Cheers. —Bill Price (nyb) 00:45, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Alleged

The point of using the word "alleged" is to avoid branding someone of a crime before the question of guilt has been settled. In this case there is no accused person to protect and using "alleged" would only serve to cast doubt on Dodson's account.·Maunus·ƛ· 00:51, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Pitch Corrected in not correct

The lede says:

Kevin Antoine Dodson[1] (born June 27, 1986)[2] is a former resident of the Lincoln Park housing project in Huntsville, Alabama, whose interview on local television became an Internet sensation and resulted in a pitch corrected song with The Gregory Brothers that "has sold thousands of copies on iTunes and appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 list".[3] The interview that propelled Dodson into fame was prompted by the report of a house intrusion and attempted rape of Dodson's sister.

But it was not actually corrected as there was no original melody to correct the pitch to. I can understand the desire to avoid using the commercial term "AutoTune". I propose instead using the phrase "artificially pitch-shifted". K8 fan (talk) 04:15, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree that "pitch corrected" oddly suggests that Dodson was unintentionally singing off-key in the original news conference. I think the words "pitch corrected" could be deleted entirely, leaving just "...resulted in a song with..." Patricia Meadows (talk) 00:15, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Trademark protection?

I'll bet someone changed it to "pitch corrected" (diff) to protect the trademark of the "Auto-Tune" software, similar to how Google used to chastise people for using "Google" as a verb. Regardless, I agree that the phrase "pitch correction" is downright misleading, so I'll change it back to auto-tuned. —Bill Price (nyb) 02:32, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Musician?

Why is he categorized as a musician? He is not a musician. 69.117.64.161 (talk) 22:39, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

This makes no sense as to how he is categorized as a musician, and how the page is organized as a musician's page. Unless he collaborated with The Gregory Brothers on "The Bed Intruder Song" then he'd be a musician, but because the song was made without his knowing, and he was not on any other tracks by anyone or himself (which I highly doubt he's a musician). This should be moved from a musician page to a "regular person" page, for the various reasons I stated. TomUSA 13:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Arrested.

According to TMZ, he was arrested for possession of marijuana. [1] DanielDPeterson (talk) 18:21, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
