Mexico Airplay

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm not sure what the purpose of this article is as it recreates and summarises individual articles for each year that already exist as shown at Category:Lists_of_number-one_songs_in_Mexico. This information is already available in the categories and individual articles for each year. Therefore this article is incorrectly designed per the name. I would expect it to contain information about the chart itself not a reproduction of the number 1 lists which already exist. It's also bizarre to talk about the nth number one single in a country. It seems like an indiscriminate list. ≫ ( Lil- Unique1 ) -{ Talk  }- 19:35, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a neutral source in the bunch (and most are behind paywalls or deadlinks), no mentions of the chart's methodology, and the wording's tinge is overtly connected to the performance of American songs and charts with songs from Mexican artists being shrugged off (I'd care more for sure about the performance of domestic artists over the stations which just air American artists and call it a day). It's not a WP:BADCHARTS...because it isn't even a chart. It's just a carousel article which exists to say 'this is #1 in Mexico' with some needless picture decoration.

 * Comment - I’m not sure I understand the nomination. The article just says that it’s a Billboard (magazine) chart. I’m not sure I see the difference between this and the endless other Billboard chart articles.

 * Redirect to Billboard charts. The article as it stands offers nothing of significance, and I can't find sources that would establish its independent notability for a stand-alone article much less a list of its number ones.
 * Comment: As the creator of the article I do not know how to respond to this nomination. Maybe a change of title would be appropiate, which was my original idea, to have a main article and create a list of number-one songs in Mexico but at the time it was not enough material. It is a Billboard chart, just as many others that are included in Wikipedia that also enlist the weekly number-one song. Javier Espinoza (talk) 02:37, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment from nominator - WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't always the best reason to cite. While other articles do exist for Billboard charts that doesn't make them notable either. The trouble is this article doesn't serve a purpose as there is already categories for each year that list what was number one. The other articles for Billboard charts usually include some information about the chart itself as well as a summary of number ones, not the whole history of songs that were number one. The article is also reaching the boundaries of what's navigable per WP:SIZE and would need to be split in the future if it continued which makes no sense, given that lists/categories already exist for number one songs in Mexico. ≫ ( Lil- Unique1 ) -{ Talk  }- 09:42, 8 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep or Move to List of Mexican Airplay number ones. There are many, many featured lists of number one songs or albums, including this one which is no different. This information cannot be clearly conveyed through a category or individual pages. Thankyoubaby (talk) 04:32, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * If the chart itself has not received coverage in reliable sources (not even in Billboard in which the chart is published), what makes a list of its number ones worth keeping. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 15:49, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: The chart was not included in the Billboard site before, but now it is listed along several other charts previously included in their billboard.biz website. I will update the links and change the name to "List of Billboard Mexican Airplay number ones of the 2010s" and other one for the "2020s". Javier Espinoza (talk) 18:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * please don't move the article until the discussion is over. ≫ ( Lil- Unique1 ) -{ Talk  }- 18:52, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Absolutely, that was just my proposal. Javier Espinoza (talk) 18:53, 9 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep or Move to List of Mexican Airplay number ones per . Britishfinance (talk) 23:50, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. Note the chart does get mentions in news sources such as: MSN, and Jamica Observer etc. Britishfinance (talk) 10:07, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Billboard charts or move to List of Mexican Airplay number ones. I don't really have a preference as to which option is the best, because a good argument could be made for either one. Other people given reasons then I can for both options. So, I'm just leaving this at my "vote." I know it's not a vote, but I feel like the discussion is long enough already without me repeating points that have already been made better then I can make them. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:31, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
