Spurious topic. As such it borders on WP:COATRACK. The article does not demonstrate that "Christian dance music" is any different from dance music where the performer doesn't do drugs for other reasons, or dance music where non-Christian performers sing about angels or loving one's next. Electronic dance music is simply the basic pop music in our days, and some Christians happen to play it. Geschichte (talk) 18:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's a valid sub-genre of music. It lives at the intersection of electronic dance music and contemporary Christian music and has sufficient sources to meet GNG. I see no COATRACK. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:11, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep: I agree with Walter; this is a valid sub-genre of Christian music, especially Contemporary Christian music. There are plenty of sources to meet the notability guidelines. Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) (talk) 01:12, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Not only is this a legitimate music genre, but your claim that the article doesn't explain the different between Electronic dance music and CEDM is demonstrably false, as the article states "the CEDM culture's lack of drug use and emphasis of positive lyrics (often focused on Christianity-based principles) distinguish it from non-religious counterparts", as well as the fact that "CEDM has also been incorporated into some Christian worship routines". In fact many CEDM songs are worship songs. I don't supporting deleting this article on the grounds that this is an illegitimate genre, because that is incorrect.

• Keep The sourcing in the article is solid and it definitely passes WP:GNG. Less Unless (talk) 14:43, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the article has references to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 20:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
