By that definition, a person cannot sing while playing a fingerstyle song as the point of fingerstyle is to replace the voice with single guitar notes, while also playing the guitar backing part.
As well a song merely plucked with your fingers is not true "fingerstyle" because it is not playing the voice part of the song.

Do you have a source for this definition? Sounds unnecessarily narrow to me.
