After the result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Billboard Hot 100 number-ones by European artists, it seems worth giving these three a look as well. Given their distinct lack of sourcing, similar to the European list, I have a feeling they will go down as trivial just the same. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 23:53, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete all fail WP:LISTN. It's all trivia cruft. Sergecross73 msg me 00:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)]
- Delete all: fail WP:LISTN, entirely original research, pretty much totally unsourced, no set inclusion criteria. I know the argument will be that this is "interesting" trivia but it's not encyclopedic. It also throws up some strange anomalies, such as the Bee Gees and Olivia Newton-John being included on both the British and Australian lists due to the dual nationalities, and songs that are predominantly by US artists but included here due to a small feature by a foreign artist: I'm still struggling to get my head around "Despacito" being included on the Canadian list... yes, I know why it is, but I don't think anyone could legitimately make an argument for the song to be Canadian, not even Justin Bieber himself. 16:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Richard3120 (talk)
