Country radio top singles 2014

Redundant to List of number-one country singles of 2014 (U.S.) and uses the Mediabase chart which is not used in other articles because no reliable sources exist. Eric444 (talk) 04:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete The source is a web page that has no indication of reliability, and uses an unexplained methodology. Also, the web site itself states that "Unfortunately, over the last few years, the yearly charts on this site for country have become less and less accurate." --Gccwang (talk) 18:37, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: Eric444 is incorrect as the page uses Billboard which is indeed a very reliable source. For the record, Mediabase is a reliable source as the information comes from program directors at radio stations nationwide. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 10:59, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment List of number-one country singles of 2014 (U.S.) uses Billboard but the article in question, Country radio top singles 2014, uses Mediabase. It says in the introduction "This is a list of the #1 country singles on the Mediabase country chart in 2014" and it is in the nonexistent category "Mediabase charts". Mediabase may be a reliable chart but there is not a reliable archive which is why it is not used in artist discographies or song articles and the only source in the article up for deletion is not a reliable one.

 * Delete Agree with nominator's rationale. Plus if it uses Billboard as its source, Wikipedia already has lists from Billboard charts and sources those directly. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 16:33, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This list is redundant to the List of number-one country singles of 2014 (U.S.) page which already incorporates the Country Airplay number ones. While the latter page references the Billboard charts, no such reliable archive exists for the Mediabase equivalent that this list seeks to track.  Gongshow   talk  18:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
