List of number-one country singles of 2013 (Canada)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The chart itself, Canada Country, is not discussed in independent third-party sources; in fact, outside of being published once a week only in its subscription site, the chart receives no coverage in Billboard itself. No mention of its methodology nor is it listed on their list of charts, so what significance is it to reach number one on this chart if no one talks about it? There is no wiki-article on the subject of the chart. Not every chart published by a trade magazine needs a list like this. As is, does not pass WP:STANDALONE. A similar discussion took place last year at Articles for deletion/Luxembourg Digital Songs. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 09:41, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep.The Chart Does Exist and Does Not Violate any standards. All information is cited and and is in order. A lot of work has been done on country music pages by other users to accommodate the chart. It would be hard work to reverse all of that. They evidently saw nothing wrong with the page. That is all I have to say. SR11 (talk) 02:15, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Canada Country is the official country music chart in Canada. It's published in the weekly Nielsen Music Canadian Update and on the Radio & Records website. The methodology is clearly explained on the R&R link and a list of monitored stations is available here. Artists' performance on the chart is frequently mentioned in third-party sources (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and so on). The only prior issue with the inclusion of the Canadian country chart was the lack of an archive. That has since been resolved and this article is sufficiently sourced and up to par with List of number-one country singles of 2013 (U.S.). Eric444 (talk) 03:33, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll withdrawal but maybe some of this info should be added to the article, eh? Also, very few of the sources even mention Billboard, calling it the BDS Canada Country Airplay Chart. They may be published by Billboard (only found using the chart search function of their business website - along with hundreds of other minor charts) and represent an archive but they are compiled by BDS. The first two months need a non-Billboard source. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 15:38, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
