List of Billboard number-one alternative singles of the 1980s

I am nominating this for featured list because after having worked on the article's prose, tables, and referencing, I think it may finally satisfy the featured list criteria. A rather short article—Billboard's alternative chart was only existent for a mere two years in the 1980s—but I believe that it's as comprehensive as it can be on the subject.

 * 3b of the featured list criteria should be satisfied first. While much better covered and laid out here, the lists are basically a duplication of existing content at Number one modern rock hits of 1988 and Number one modern rock hits of 1989, thus a WP:CFORK. If you can resolve that, you should be in good shape for FL. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 19:20, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Will see what I can do. Perhaps the two lists could be merged into this one? Holiday56 (talk) 07:50, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I've proposed a merger. Anyone is free to leave any comments. Holiday56 (talk) 09:01, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * No additional comments have been left on the merge discussion in over a week. It seems that there's a rough consensus to merge (per step IV of the merge process on WP:MERGE), and discussion has gone silent, so can the merge be carried out? Holiday56 (talk) 06:41, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Good question. One of Ericorbit's objections when I tried to boldly merge the lists previously, was that he wanted to see a discussion first. There wasn't a lot of participation, but it may be enough of a rough consensus, as you say, to carry out. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 23:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The discussion has since been closed with a consensus to merge, so I suppose the fork issue has been resolved. Holiday56 (talk) 10:06, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
