Reason for nomination. Wikipedia is not an indescriminate collection of information. SamBC 02:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I should also say that I bring this up as a test case for the similar pages for other years. SamBC 02:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * merge with airplay article. Not all 100 hits just like 10 or something though. -Icewedge 02:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete billboard.com offers history charts for a fee at their site...I dont think wikipedia should be offering this information for free (I'm assuming billboard has the copyrights to this list).  Corpx 02:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don't see why 1997 is bad. We have lists for all of that decade. See List_of_number-one_Hot_100_Airplay_hits. As an aside, I've found lists like that useful. Guroadrunner 11:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Like I said, consider this a test case for the other articles like this for other years; 1997 isn't being 'singled out'. And remember WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not considered an acceptable argument. SamBC 13:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep (unless it's true that this is a copyright violation, which does seem possible). In my opinion, the most popular songs on the radio in a given year is notable and encyclopedic. Propaniac 17:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep unless it's a copyvio. Oysterguitarist 20:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, encyclopedic list of chart toppers. I hate to argue that other crap exists, but this list is no less notable than, say, 1997 in country music, which features all of the Hot Country Songs number-one singles and other major hits. I don't see any copyryight violations here at this list or any other Hot 100 Airplay lists. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 20:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
