Feel free to offer your thoughts at Talk:Attack Attack! (American band)/Archives/2023 1#Genres again. You have already participated in changing the band's genres, but without supporting sources. It's time to step up and consider the sources. Binksternet (talk) 04:31, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

A video is on here of an interview with Andrew Whiting in 2009 and the first question he is asked is regarding AA! being labeled a "christian band" and states that the band isn't a christian band, despite the lyrical content of their music Nordic42 (talk) 06:11, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I saw that. Wikipedia is based on WP:SECONDARY observers publishing their thoughts. The thoughts of the band are primary, not secondary. Secondary sources are definitive. If the band doesn't like a label given them by the media, we can tell that fact to the reader, but it doesn't affect the label, which remains in place despite the band's wishes.

Oh, I see what you're getting at. I didn't know that, still quite new to this stuff. Nordic42 (talk) 07:46, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
