Subject is not notable, and is possible copyright violation. Almost entire article is a copy of the list at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation website. Ravpapa (talk) 06:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: 9 separate list articles have been created based on the ABC rankings. All are currently up for deletion. Perhaps it would be a good idea to combine them all into a single AfD. Does anyone know how to do that?

Comment on copyright question: I have no opinion on the overall appropriateness of the list, but copyright concerns seem valid if the ABC offered a list of candidates from which the ranking was selected. Coincidentally, I have a question in to our associate counsel at this very moment concerning such survey lists in conjunction with User:Moonriddengirl/Copyright in lists. (If the list were the opinion of employees of ABC there would be no question of copyright; the question here involves when an organization offers a finite group of candidates which are then ranked by survey.) I've truncated the list to the top 5, even though per attorney feedback there may be issues with fair use in that, since the top 5 of the list is the most commercially valuable. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:37, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Usually in these exercises, the station doesn't offer a suggested list to vote on. Listeners are asked to send in their favourite x number of compositions (usually 3) and then the station creates a ranked list out of the responses. Voceditenore (talk) 16:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is nothing notable about these lists. Many classical stations have exercises of this kind, e.g. Classic FM (UK) which has been running five years longer than the ABC one and has attracted independent coverage in the UK. The only coverage I've found for the ABC lists is by the station itself. Voceditenore (talk) 16:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
