List of songs by American artists which reached number-one on the Eurochart Hot 100

Not a notable article. List of relatively unimportant information Washburn mav (talk) 14:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep European charting by American artists certainly strikes me as notable, particularly given how much the WP:MUSIC notability criteria value chart activity. Eurochart Hot 100 is a Billboard-affiliated chart.  "Unimportant" is in the eye of the beholder. Townlake (talk) 15:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Townlake. Mandsford (talk) 20:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - This looks like classic Overcategorization to me. -Verdatum (talk) 21:09, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment As this list isn't a category, I don't consider this an issue. Townlake (talk) 02:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply - Point taken, the guideline I referenced is indeed related to categories. I was looking for an expansion of point 5 of WP:NOTDIRECTORY: Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, such as "People from ethnic/cultural/religious group X employed by organization Y" or "Restaurants specializing in food type X in city Y". Cross-categories like these are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon. -Verdatum (talk) 15:41, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Continued Perhaps with hindsight it would be better as a 'List of songs by non-European artists..., absorbing the Canadian and Australian lists (both of which only have a few entries)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The flying pasty (talk • contribs) 12:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. - McCart42 (talk) 16:37, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Reasoning: Eurochart Hot 100 is notable, this demarcation is also a reasonably encyclopedic list, no assertion of non-notability given aside from proclamation of self-evidence. - McCart42 (talk) 16:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
