Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RIANZ Annual Top 50 Singles Chart

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous. The majority decision is for "delete" but I am compelled to agree with Kappa that GFDL attribution will be most easily preserved through a redirect. Noting that redirects are cheap, I am going to exercise my discretion here and redirect it. Rossami (talk) 04:40, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

RIANZ Annual Top 50 Singles Chart
According to the article, this is a top 50 chart of singles that is yearly produced by the RIANZ. Circular reasoning, delete as such. Radiant! 10:17, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * No potential to become encyclopedic, delete. RidG (talk)  10:44, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * The Recording Industry Association of New Zealand is equivalent to the RIAA in the U.S., this should be edited and merged to an article for the RIANZ--nixie 11:50, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * (rewritten) Keep, we have an article for the Billboard Hot 100. BTW I don't follow the "circular reasoning" argument at all. Kappa 12:24, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I've created Recording Industry Association of New Zealand and a re-direct to it from RIANZ, with this information. Delete as fork, inappropriate title. Wyss 01:00, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to where Wyss merged it. Kappa 01:57, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, fork. Megan1967 06:37, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Wyss. Delete of this top 50 thingy stands, because title is not a likely search term (because of length, capitalization issues, and possible hyphenation). Radiant! 11:06, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * So have you guys checked for compliance with the GFDL? Kappa 11:44, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Why? Wyss 15:06, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Because removing the article removes the history, which removes the author attribution, which violates the GFDL. Did you read GFDL? - David Gerard 00:44, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * :) Given the (particular) history of the new article, I think my vote complies. Wyss 06:20, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep - David Gerard 00:44, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Edeans 19:30, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
