List of Top 40 singles in 2005 (UK)
Not encyclopedic (leave it to theofficialcharts website) and not up to date. Can't see it being updated any time soon either as it's going to be a pain to do so. Important info covered by 2005 in music (UK).

 * You've misinterpreted the title.Philip 04:27, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Not at all. UNLESS somebody is planning on keeping this updated throughout the entire year, which is unlikely, this can only be calculated once the year is over.  RickK 20:55, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Someone has put considerable effort into this and I don't want to slap them in the face. I've put it into the British music category. Philip 04:27, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep for now, delete later (say, at the end of February) if not updated. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 08:39, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete un-maintainable lists. Jayjg |  (Talk)  01:18, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. With effort, this is clearly maintainable.  Just like any other list.  GRider\talk 20:18, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Removed chart runs. Now up to date and easier to update with new entries every week. Plasmic Squonka! 00:32, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

For those of you that are choosing keep could you please say when you think it would be too outdated? It's over three weeks old now and is getting harder to get uptodate every week. violet/riga (t) 21:34, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
