Funk-something genres 

Recent edit warring activity centers around the "funk metal" genre, and whether it should be removed. The following reliable sources have described the band as funk or funk-plus-something:
Premier Guitar magazine. "the funk-metal misfits Faith No More". "funk-rock" [describing the song "Epic"]
Consequence of Sound magazine. "Avant-garde, funk metal, post-apocalyptic lounge … however one chooses to describe Faith No More, odds are good he or she will be right, in some capacity or another."
AllMusic band bio. "Bay Area alternative metal band that added funk, thrash, and carousel influences upon vocalist Mike Patton's entrance in 1989." "With their fusion of heavy metal, funk, hip-hop, and progressive rock..."
The Quietus magazine. "Yes, these are the fools who would bust out a version of 'Easy' in the middle of a set of otherwise stilted funk-metal..."
Orange County Register. "Faith No More never did what was expected, and while that caused the Bay Area metal-funk-prog-and-punk act plenty of headaches..."
New York Magazine. "Faith No More, a San Francisco funk-rock band... If you like your metal funky and your funk played hard, Faith No More proves it's entirely possible."
The Rough Guide to Rock, page 352. First fame came from the "funk-metal groove of the single 'We Care A Lot.'" The 1989 album The Real Thing is described as an "abrasive but stadium-friendly brand of melodic funk-rock."
Drums & Drumming magazine, volume 3, Issues 1–5, page 14. "Faith No More are the first representatives of the burgeoning funk/metal crossover scene to infiltrate the upper reaches of the charts."
All Music Guide: The Definitive Guide to Popular Music, page 145. "Faith No More: Alternative Metal, Funk Metal, Heavy Metal, Alternative Pop/Rock."

And the Faith No More blog says "How often the term funk metal was used before the release of The Real Thing in 1989 I do not know (and frankly I can't be arsed researching that) but it was used many times to describe the third album by Faith No More. As the press of 1989 couldn't find a category to neatly file TRT under they chose the recently created funk metal and FNM just shrugged their shoulders. At the time of release FNM were indifferent to the phrase, like any artist they didn't want their work to be pigeonholed but it didn't seem to irk them until the end of 1990 when the term was fired at them in almost every interview. FNM began to loathe this sign that had been hung around their necks and their reaction was to do everything in their creative power to write a forth album that would shove funk metal up the media's rear end!"

This primary source actually reinforces the impression that the band can be described as funk metal, since it acknowledges how widely that label was applied to the band. So for any editors who prefer primary to WP:SECONDARY sources (Wikipedia prefers secondary sources), the primary sources also tell us that the funk metal genre should be listed in the infobox, as it was so prominent.
