List of singles by Boy bands which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Seems like a non-notable intersection of a certain type of pop group and those groups having number-one singles. One can find a favorite group's number ones at List of UK Singles Chart number ones and the like. And unlike List of UK hit singles by footballers, there does not appear to be coverage on the topic in outside sources. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars --(talk) 07:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I did the articles to run alongside the main article of boy bands as well as list of best selling to show popularity and trends over the decades as mentioned in the main article. The articles are meant for anyone interested in which songs reached number one in the four countries focussed in the article and as a complete #1 discography per country.

 * Support per nom. In addition, I find the term "boy band" misleading, after all most pop bands are young, and a fair percentage are all-male, so it becomes a judgement call i.e. failing WP:OR whether a specific band should be included. Why shouldn't, just from the top of my head, the following boy bands be included, The Lettermen, The Rhythm Boys, The Bachelors, The Beatles? --Richhoncho (talk) 19:32, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Overly trivial intersection. Inherently OR per Richhoncho since "boy band" is a bit subjective. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:07, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Having singles reach #1 does not notable in and of itself.  cf. WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:INHERITEDCurb Chain (talk) 12:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - the "boy band" term introduces problems for these lists which Richhoncho put nicely above; and Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars is right, as far as I can tell, that the topic of these lists, unlike the "hit singles by footballers" example, lacks significant coverage.
