Unfortunately, for the same reasons given for List of songs by American artists which reached number-one on the UK Singles Chart and List of singles by Australian artists that reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. Borders on listcruft and appears to be just a content fork – all the information here is repeated at List of artists who reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. No sources are given to justify why this isn't any more than a non-notable intersection of topics. A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 16:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge It's untrue to say "all the information here is repeated at List of artists who reached number one on the UK Singles Chart" because that list doesn't include nationalities. Deleting this would lose valuable information, which is generally considered a bad thing per WP:PRESERVE. Since the consensus is that separate articles of this form shouldn't exist, the only reasonable action is to merge this info to List of artists who reached number one on the UK Singles Chart or the relevant sub-pages of List of UK Singles Chart number ones. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:00, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per precedents noted by nominator. If country of origin is so important why can't it be added to List of artists who reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, athough years of songs and songwriters might be more appropriate! --Richhoncho (talk) 12:42, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * PS, As some wag has noted on the talkpage, where's all there British acts - they are european too! LOL. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:44, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per Richhoncho. Add nationality to the main list if it is important. Rlendog (talk) 19:58, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * There is nothing special about a European artist reaching number one on the UK chart (or any nationality reaching number one on any chart). Delete as WP:CFORK, and WP:LISTCRUFT. Till 14:42, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
