Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks number-one hits of 1996

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is only a list of songs that hit a specific top 40 list in 1996. There's nothing here to show that this holds any notability or significance. To quote WP:NOT, "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information." Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:52, 12 February 2012 (UTC)Tokyogirl79
 * Keep, number one singles are a reasonably defined topic per WP:SALAT. There is also a huge precedent that lists of number-one singles are acceptable — ones exist for Hot 100, Hot AC, Hot Country Songs and nearly every Billboard chart.

 * Comment. Not to sound petulant, so lists of weeks of every single Billboard top 40 list is notable for an encyclopedic entry? It just sounds kind of redundant, to be honest. The songs have a category for being top 40 tracks ([Category:Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks number-one singles]), so it's just a little overly repetitive. If we need to list them by year, wouldn't it be better to have a category specifically for the number one hits of 96 rather than an article that just lists them week by week?Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:14, 13 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79

 * Keep The list is notable enough to get coverage elsewhere. You read about a song, it mentions how long it was on this list.   I added a link to the template AdultTop40Tracks which all other articles like this were already linked to apparently.  Odd someone left one out.   D r e a m Focus  16:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep, Most Billboard Charts list them #1 hits week by week. Is there a problem? It's an useful and specific entry. I'll be adding soon the list of Hot Adult Contemporary #1 hits for 1997.
 * Withdrawing nomination. I still don't see where a category template wouldn't be more appropriate, but I suppose that listings of every top listing ever made everywhere on earth has complete and total notability and should have lists made of them.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
