List of British Females who reached number one on the Hot 100 (United States)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete useless list. While the subject matter is verifiable, the topic is so microscopic that it's really highly limited in terms of providing any valuable information, navigational abilities, or ideas for future development as per WP:LIST. Any changes needed to be tracked in these articles can easily be done so through the already existing and more comprehensive Category:British female singers.

 * Speedy Keep WP:ATA I don't understand the argument favoring deletion. Perhaps you would like to elaborate? Townlake (talk) 17:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Speedy Keep request withdrawn because Ave Caesar's original rationale was expanded. Townlake (talk) 20:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Note There are comments and strikethrus that need to be restored to this discussion that occurred during the brief reopening of this AfD a few days ago. I'd do it myself, but as admins have been significantly involved with this AfD and I don't want to disturb anything they've done, I'd prefer they do the restore.  (And this here comment can be obliterated when that's done.) Townlake (talk) 23:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a notable list, as demonstrated by the media coverage of Leona Lewis joining it, such as     etc. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep "Category" and "List" pages serve different purposes; WP:LIST says in no uncertain terms that there are benefits to be gained from redundancies between them. I still don't see a compelling argument for deletion here, and seems to me useless/useful is too subjective in this case to carry much weight. Townlake (talk) 20:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
