Exact copies of entire lists only found in the primary source: the end-of-decade issue of Billboard magazine from December 19, 2009. According to the cover (here's an image from fanpop.com), there are potentially 250 such charts that can be duplicated here should these be kept. The issue can obviously be used as a source on individual song/album/artist articles for the various chart positions, but to duplicate multiple lists in their entirety from that one issue seems to be going into WP:IINFO territory. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 05:41, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not convinced the list is notable in terms of having received significant third party coverage (I did find a bit of press coverage in not very significant magazines) but that would be justification (or not) for an article on the list, not repeating the list. Duplicating entire lists (aside from worries about copyright) is not the purpose of Wikipedia (Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information). --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:28, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Probably a copyvio, and unnotable anyway. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:57, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't believe this is a copyvio. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is a top 100 chart of the entire decade based on the same criteria as the Billboard Top 100. We can reprint those because they are based entirely on facts - radio play and sales (if they were opinion lists we wouldn't be able to reprint them.) WP:IANAL. As to notability, I hadn't heard of this, but what do I know? OSborn arfcontribs. 02:52, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * What facts? It seems to me it's some sort of ranking formula concocted by Billboard. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:30, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
