This term is derisive and not as widespread as the article implies. The term can be mentioned in passing in more appropriate articles like Contemporary Christian music. Justin Tokke (talk) 04:19, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This should be a Wiktionary entry and as the nominator says, worth perhaps a passing mention in another article. Mccapra (talk) 04:30, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOT#DICTIONARY. Move it to Wiktionary. Walter Görlitz (talk)
Delete - I came to this AFD thinking I'd likely vote keep or Merge, but WP:BEFORE shows this to basically just be a describing-term that is applied to pretty much anything. It is not really a specific style of music, or at the very least I did not see evidence of it being described as such in the GBook hits I reviewed, where instead it was applied to a range of different styles (e.g., Gospel, Folk) as a modifier. As such this falls under WP:NOTDICTIONARY. FOARP (talk) 08:07, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete My searches show that it has been used to describe meetings [1] - so it is behaving as any adjective does, with a range of uses and extensions of its original meaning. If it's not in Wiktionary, it should be. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:58, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge anything appropriate (i.e. sourceable and not already included) to Contemporary worship music, of which this term is a criticism. If nothing is appropriate for merging, delete per NOTDICT. Cnilep (talk) 23:56, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
