List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2011 (U.S.)

 * Nominator(s): — Tomica   (talk)  16:20, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... I contributed the page through whole the year, not constantly though. However, in the end I wrote the lead and I think it really can pass Wikipedia's FL criteria. I am a Rihanna fan, and she was successful on the Hot 100 this year, so for that I will be really happy If I make this a FL.— Tomica   (talk)  16:20, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Support if there is no consensus to merge this at the end of the day. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  21:58, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Support Why is Rolling In The Deep wikilinked twice in the lead? Best, Jona yo!  Selena 4 ever  00:22, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ooops. I unlinked it. Thanks — Tomica   (talk)  00:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Its all good and you're welcome. Best, Jona yo!  Selena 4 ever  00:34, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Support Comments I did some tweaks in the lead today. Hope those help. My concern (major one) is this sentence about Adele:  She became the first solo female to have two songs spend at least five weeks at number one in one calender year. Is it true? Can it be verified?

 * Sourced it. There it is. — Tomica   (talk)  11:01, 25 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Comments by Status
 * Would it hurt to have them sortable? I think it would be nice for the reader to see in the chart how many times one artist appeared. — Status  &#x7B;talk contribs  17:03, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that cock up the row spanning? — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  17:07, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I kind of don't have an idea what are you talking about. Can I get an example Status? — Tomica   (talk)  17:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Image review: All used images appear to be free and properly tagged.  Good raise  15:33, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Support - not super-comfortable that every single reference is to Billboard, but I guess that's the way the other Billboard FLs do it. You need a comma after "Firework" in the lead. I also strongly recomend that you archive the references via webcite or web archive (and the |archiveurl= and |archivedate= paremeters in the references) - while not an FLC criteria, if the websites ever go away or change to lose the information (like, say, every last link in the 2008 FL) then you end up with a completely unsourced article. Also, what's up with the merge tag at the top? It doesn't link to an active discussion, but an older section links to a months-old discussion that never went anywhere. I don't think the list can be promoted with that going on, regardless of supports here. -- Pres N  19:51, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree with PresN on the fact that this shouldn't be promoted until the merge tag situation works itself out. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:05, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
 * First of all thanks to all who supported. As a nominator I really don't like that adding the tag came right now. Its obvious that lists by year should be kept and the the 2010's one merged or deleted. The US charts have been written in separate lists since the start of Wikipedia, so I don't see the reason for creating one article for a decade. However, okay, its right to wait. — Tomica   (talk)  23:53, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Nothing new seems to have appeared in the merge discussion there for the past two weeks. Could someone organise its closure so we can close this candidate? Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Who should be able to close that discussion? — Tomica   (talk)  17:35, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Any independent admin would do. i.e. no-one featuring in either this or that process. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:01, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I will try to ask somebody independent with administrator rights. — Tomica   (talk)  18:25, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead and closed it as no consensus. Canadian   Paul  14:25, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
