List of artists who reached number one on the U.S. Rock Charts

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a Billboard magazine chart that is literally only several weeks old. There is hardly enough information here to justify a separate list (as of this writing I see a grand total of three items). Article's title is also incorrect (plural "Charts" is wrong, there is only one "Rock Songs" chart). - eo (talk) 12:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete Too early for a separate list, misleading title not warranting a redirect. Added the similarly misleading List of artists who reached number one on the U.S. Rock Charts, the content of which has been merged to Rock Songs.

 * I agree with TPH. There's no guideline (that I know of) that says anything against have such short lists, but common sense says such a list is not necessary or helpful. Delete it for now, and when a sizable number of artists achieve this position, the list can be recreated at the correct title. Tim  meh  ( review me ) 19:05, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Not just original synthesis, but bad original synthesis. Since it is a brand new chart, there was every opportunity to make this more than an indiscriminate list by adding some basic information about what song that Green Day or Alice in Chains had reached #1 on the new chart with.  The lack of a link to the Billboard chart doesn't help the cause.  Even at that, I don't see the value of a list of artists in alphabetical order.  The format is too boring for anyone to want to keep it current.  Mandsford (talk) 12:44, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
