List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2006 (U.S.)
''Notified: WP:RECORD CHARTS and User:Efe

I am nominating this for featured list removal because just like recently demoted List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2005 (U.S.), this one isn't verifiable. Please check the external links with the tool on the right side of this text. This page does not meet basic Wikipedia guideline, let alone a featured list criteria. I realize that all dead links come from the Billboard website and can be fixed easily, but as evidenced by the 2005 list nomination, there's little motivation to improve these lists. Unreferenced lists should not be among Wikipedia's best. Cheetah  (talk)  22:26, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * What a shame. I just did a quick check on Billboard, the URL mapping (from old to new) is simple and shouldn't take a script more than a few seconds to fix, perhaps a human two minutes?  Ref 55 currently has http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/esearch/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003315460 and the current link is simply http://www.billboard.com/news#/news/1003315460.story .... When I get two minutes I may fiddle with a "search-and-replace" - we really don't need to demote these lists for a couple of minutes of research and a couple of minutes of work...

 * Right, in between cooking chicken, roast potatoes etc etc and keeping the fire burning, I've fixed all but one of the refs per the glorious "search-and-replace" described above. If I can't fix the last ref then we'll just need to delete the single sentence from the lead which would remain unreferenced.  Any other concerns?

 * All done. I think, overall, it took 10 minutes.  I'll do the others in due course unless someone is prepared to spend a few minutes fixing the problem.  Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:48, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Alt text also done. Anything else?  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
