List of best-selling artists in South Korea

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails number 7 at WP:DEL1. The list is almost entirely unsourced and has been unsourced for several years, and even that few entries that are sourced, are from unreliable websites (like Insider Monkey), therefore no point of having an unverified article, where anybody can randomly change the numbers since they cannot be verified anyway, most of those numbers are original research, taken from fan forums, and IPs are changing those numbers at least once per day.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment, WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP, does this subject meet WP:LISTN or not? as for problems with numbers being changed, editors can place article on their watchlist or it can be semiprotected, to confirm the numbers references can be obtained from the music group/artist's wikiarticles, suggest that article has invisible words (only seen in wikiedit mode) that numbers have to be reliably sourced and are from those pages, anyway, suggest a rename to music artists, with a redirect.

 * Comment. I think there are ways to improve this article. The articles List of best-selling singles in South Korea and List of best-selling albums in South Korea appear to be better sourced and more up to date. So we could start with those sources in order to verify and update the info in this article. That being said, this article (if properly sourced) probably wouldn't provide information that's not already available in the other two articles. Would like to hear what others think.
