List of artists who reached number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart[edit]

This list does not appear to be genuine. The references cited do not support the content, the content is incomplete (several artists I remember being at #1 on the main pop charts are not included) and an earlier page under a similar title by the same author was deleted after having been found to be a copy and paste from List of artists who reached number one on the Australian singles chart. The artists missing are mostly local New Zealand artists which makes me suspect the same has happened again. Daveosaurus (talk) 07:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This user has been warned repeatedly for failing to abide by wiki guidelines and I seriously doubt that any attempt by them to create any version of this article is going to be reliable. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 08:22, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No references, and I am concerned about the accuracy of information. Adabow (talk · contribs) 10:36, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the spirit of WP:NOT. WP is rife with all sorts of lists. We need a policy or guideline on what constitutes the sort of list that should be allowed on WP. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 10:43, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per above. Mostly wanted to chime in that the idea of a policy on lists is a brilliant idea -- I feel like I run into questionable lists pretty frequently. GorillaWarfare ^talk 14:24, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
