Lists of number-one

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:LISTPURP. It's not even clear (in its current iteration, or in its initial version) what topic it's exactly meant to cover. List articles with "number-one" in their name? Lists of the top X for various values of X? A music-specific index of lists of number-one songs and albums? "List(s) of number-one" seems like an implausible search term (and what would that reader even be looking for?). Zero incoming links. Colin M (talk) 23:57, 12 November 2019 (UTC)


 * btw, the most optimistic non-deletion outcome I can think of: maybe you could move it to List of number-ones and make it a DAB page linking to Lists of number-one songs and Lists of number-one albums. But if you think that page should exist, you might as well just make it from scratch? You get nothing from dragging along the corpse of this article except a confusing edit history irrelevant to the new scope, and a couple of weird redirects.

 * Delete per nom, this does not appear to serve any useful navigational or indexing function. I don't think retitling will cure that. FWIW, in the category system, the higher level parent that includes the lists of number-one songs and albums is Category:Entertainment-related lists of superlatives. This isn't that in any event. postdlf (talk) 14:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete The collection of lists is woefully incomplete - there are hundreds of music charts - in addition number one when? Current? Past? updating the many lists would be a nightmare. WP:NOT Lightburst (talk) 15:47, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
