Some good edits ... but
Saw some good edits (re: removing AOR and Classic Rock from genre fields, etc) ... when you're on those pages it's worth noting that 'Arena Rock' is also not a music genre either ... it's just an umbrella term (like New Wave of Heavy Metal) ... it does not describe a musical style. The Journey albums, just as one example, stood for very long time as simply Hard Rock and Rock ... which is what they are. Also worth taking note of when visiting each article.... music articles are typically very guilty of horrific writing and many violate lots of wiki-policy. The Journey "Escape" album only needs one read through in the lead-in to see that, among other gaffs, the last sentence in the paragraph is blatant violation of weasel wording. So if you're going to make them count... be diligent on things like removing arena rock from infobox genre fields and weasel words or crufty POV adjectives. Keep up the steady edits.

- @Mr Pyles Thanks for your notes! You're correct in that arena rock is also not a genre (the number of genres on Wikipedia listed in the infobox that are not genres is quite remarkable). I will go and try to improve the Journey articles some, and go and remove arena rock from the infoboxes. If you have any other concerns, please feel free to contact me again. Cheers!

See WP:NRVE, and please understand that simply lacking citations does not make a topic "original research". And while yes, the article as first nominated had issues, they were addresable. A little research and editing by User:Tokyogirl79 brought the article into line with MOS:FILM. It is now seen that through WP:NRVE the film easily meets WP:NF. Might you consider a "keep"?
