Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Pop 100 Airplay number-one hits of 2005

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete all. The deletion arguments indicate that the highly segmented nature of these charts violates WP:NOT#INFO as noted in the nomination. With regards to the Hot Digital Songs list, the fact that digital sales figures are currently included in the main charts means that this list is similarly limited in scope. --jonny-m t 14:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Pop 100 Airplay number-one hits of 2005[edit]

Also included:

These lists are for Billboard magazine component charts. I feel that these pages go against WP:NOT#IINFO, as they do not represent any of the "main" singles charts produced by Billboard, nor do these really represent the charts of a particular country, such as the UK Singles Chart or Australia's ARIA Charts. These particular lists cover either airplay or sales in a very specific segment of the singles market which in turn are used to comprise bigger charts like the Pop 100. These charts are discouraged from song pages and artist discographies per WP:CHARTS so it doesn't seem logical to have lists like this for every chart produced by Billboard - in fact I see it as a bit excessive. - eo (talk) 13:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the Pop 100 Airplay ones per WP:NOT#IINFO, Neutral on the rest. Pop 100 Airplay is indeed a component only chart, and inclusion of that chart's info would be indiscriminate. However, I don't think the same applies to Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks or Hot Digital Songs; neither one of those seems to be a component chart.

Delete all per WP:NOT#IINFO. As the nom points out, these are all component charts, and this information is thus highly indiscriminate in nature. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 13:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - fyi (you prob already know this, TPH), but Adult Top 40 is not to be confused with the more notable and long-running Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. It's an even more narrow segment of radio. - eo (talk) 13:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay, I wasn't sure on that one. I didn't have them confused, I just wasn't sure if they were truly component charts or not. They're obviously not clear-cut cases like Hot Country Songs, which is not a component chart although it's airplay-only.

    - Exactly. There are certainly very notable charts based only on airplay: for example I believe Hot Latin Tracks definitely deserves number-ones lists (which it has), but I would draw the line at, say, Latin Pop Airplay, Latin Regional Mexican Airplay, Latin Tropical Airplay or Latin Rhythm Airplay. - eo (talk) 13:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking keep all. Though I think some need to have theire page moved to fit other lists' formats. icelandic hur ricane #12_(talk) 15:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the Hot Digital Songs 2008 number-ones - it is the most important sales chart in the USA as it is the only one that measures pure sales of both digital and physical singles across all genres, and as such has a unique and widespread importance compared to the other charts listed (contrary to the nomination's claim that "These particular lists cover either airplay or sales in a very specific segment of the singles market"). I'd also venture that the page/topic should be expanded to cover all the number 1s since the chart was introduced. Leipzigger98 (talk) 02:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
