Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of best-selling albums in Brazil


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. The disagreement clearly is over the extent to which this information is verifiable, and the discussion, even after two relists, is not developed enough to resolve that point. I suggest a substantive and openended discussion in a better locale than an AFD about the subject, perhaps focusing on the apparently well-developed Portuguese version, to be analyzed by those with the language skills to see if its sourcing meets our standards. postdlf (talk) 01:39, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

List of best-selling albums in Brazil

Totally unreliable greek source with sales numbers, fake numbers all over the article. Official sales form Brazil is almost impossible to find. max24 (talk) 18:06, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Sure needs some cleanup and corrections, but I wouldn't call the numbers simply "fake". The sources only list the certifications, so one must understand the certification methods and then calculate the total sale numbers. There might have been some calculating mistakes. While the proponent nominator says "official sales form Brazil is almost impossible to find", half the list is sourced by ABPD, which is recognized as a fine source.

 * Delete per nominator. Only other solution is to simply list shipments "only" according to certifications available on the ABPD website (which is very much incomplete).-- Peter Griffin  &bull;  Talk2Me   07:16, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Note that the equivalent article on the Portguese wiki is a featured list.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Maybe it needs work to provide better refs, but that's no reason to delete. Andrewa (talk) 07:18, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete for inability to verify contents, a violation of policy, one of the five pillars of the Wikipedia. --Bejnar (talk) 23:23, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
