List of number-one hits (WorldWide)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

article is little more that a list of other lists, the other lists being "unreferenced piles of original research" Wuh  Wuz  Dat  18:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Recommend closing as entirely dependent on other ongoing discussions. This page is essentially an index to the per-year lists (which may or may not be suitable for Wikipedia, but which are referenced). At the time of the nomination two such lists exist and both have been nominated for deletion. If the individual lists get deleted then there is no point in this page and it could be speedily deleted per WP:CSD (entirely dependent on deleted pages). If the individual list are kept then there is no reason to delete the index to them, or at least none given in this nomination statement. See Articles for deletion/List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 1999 (WorldWide) and Articles for deletion/List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2000 (WorldWide), although I am about to propose merging those discussions.

 * Delete See past discussion at Articles for deletion/United World Chart, of where these numbers come from (not from Mediabase as said in the article, which didn't even exist until 1985 and did not gain traction until 1988), and has been specifically discouraged as a source per WP:BADCHART. No real sources or discussion of where the numbers came from at all.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:29, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Based solely on the United World Chart, which has long been listed at WP:BADCHARTS as a result of Articles for deletion/United World Chart. I'm adding two subarticles to the AFD.&mdash;Kww(talk) 21:08, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
