Serious AFD this time. No sources found for this chart. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agreed.  Quick check around turns up nothing I can attribute. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 03:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * And here's a recent one
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * I'm rather fluent in spanish. Those sources only say "Song X was on National Report" and give no info on the company, nor on the tabulation methods. It's just a tangential namedrop. I did some more searching with the search string you suggested at WT:CHARTS and found only namedrops of the chart. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Alrighty then, so the chart isn't notable. I'm guessing it doesn't appear to be reliable either? Erick (talk) 03:13, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Their site says absolutely nothing on how they compile their information — do they monitor radio stations, tabulate from playlists, etc.? — which has me rather suspect as to their reliability. Showing one's work is usually a sign of the reliability of a chart; for example, it's well known that Billboard uses Nielsen SoundScan, Mediabase uses a points system, etc. The charts that are determined non notable are usually the ones where we have no idea how they get their numbers.

 * In that case, I change my stance to from Neutral to Delete. Erick (talk) 17:37, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
