List of Angrezi Top 20 number-one songs/singles of 2015

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable chart without any known methodology, fails WP:BADCHARTS. Should be deleted and pinging who has a better knowledge. — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 07:08, 3 March 2015 (UTC)


 * User:IndianBio, I don't know how does it fails WP:BADCHARTS.


 * It is done by The Times of India, which is a reputed newspaper.
 * It also is archived unlike Saavn charts
 * No other chart in India is archived
 * This is the only chart which also gets printed in newspapers like Pune and Mumbai Mirror.

I don't get the reason how does it fails. Mike: Golu  · [ Confidential message ] 07:21, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "Charts pertaining to only one specific retailer should not be used" → It says it clearly that in WP:BADCHARTS. — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 08:20, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a non sequitur, as this list does not pertain to "one specific retailer". "Retailer" means "seller". postdlf (talk) 00:48, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * postdlf, please see my question below. What information do we have on what qualifies a song for this chart? WP:SINGLEVENDOR actually says "Charts which rank material from a single vendor or network are generally unsuitable for inclusion in articles", by the way.&mdash;Kww(talk) 05:19, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't have any comment on your question, just responding to IndianBio's quote of the inapplicable annotations from Record_charts for seller-specific charts. postdlf (talk) 17:14, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * So, postdlf, when you say "this list does not pertain to 'one specific retailer'", you don't actually know how many retailers' sales are incorporated in this chart, or how many networks' airplay is incorporated in this chart.&mdash;Kww(talk) 22:42, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm saying a newspaper is not a retailer, which is all IndianBio's contextless quote above seemed to imply, and nothing in this list nor the parent at Angrezi Top 20 identify a retailer at all. You can instead argue your issue with someone who is interested in commenting on it. postdlf (talk) 22:54, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Wasn't arguing, just asking. We don't track iTunes charts, even though they are published in some newspapers as well. Right now, it seems that we are in the position where we have no idea whether this chart is suitable or not.&mdash;Kww(talk) 00:16, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Question: Where's the source that shows what sales qualify for the chart?&mdash;Kww(talk) 14:11, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete From examination of the chart listing, this would appear to be a radio airplay chart documenting airplay only on Radio Mirchi. This view is supported by the description at Radio Mirchi. Per WP:SINGLENETWORK, we do not document such charts in Wikipedia, as they violate WP:NOT. It's the same reason that we do not track iTunes and VEVO.&mdash;Kww(talk) 00:54, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
