FL[edit]

Shouldn't a featured list meet notability requirements by citing sources from reliable third-party sources. Everything comes from a single source, while its parent article (Christian Songs) offers no references to independent sources. Just because a chart is published by Billboard doesn't automatically make it notable. Establishing this notability should have occurred first before promoting as a featured list because there is no indication of what makes being number one on this chart important or meaningful. My recommendation is to improve the subject article relating to this list. As it is, it doesn't seem to pass section 3b of the featured list criteria regarding the notability of stand-alone lists. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 09:08, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
