Prod was removed with the reasoning, "Why has my article been put up for deletion. It is no different from all the other lists to do with British music statistics. I started at 40 weeks as not many uk singles reach this milestone; would it be better to put 52 weeks instead? This is no different from the Biggest selling British acts of all time list starting at 50 million sales, surely this and hundreds of other lists are meaninless then also?" Why 40 weeks? No notable reason is given for why 40 weeks was chosen. Unnecessary list compared to similar better put together lists. Joe Chill (talk) 18:56, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
I can't be bothered to leave this on here as this site is obviously bias in what goes on here. As for better put together lists: I've seen some terrible lists on here with incorrect information but this has not been deleted. I shall keep my information that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet as a complete list & all my other information & you can stick your wikipedia right up your pathetic administrative sad lonely lives arses!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikingman69 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Merge into UK Singles Chart records and statistics. From what I can see, that article has a spot for artists whose combined works have achieved a record number of weeks on the charts, but nothing yet for individual singles that have achieved a record number of weeks on the charts. This seems like a worthy branch of statistics to me; Elvis has had the most weeks on the chart as an artist, but Sinatra's "My Way" according to the info from this article, has the record for most time on the chart, even though it never reached number one. I think that's interesting, and not already covered in the UK Singles Chart records and statistics. If there is concern about the arbitrary number of 40 weeks on the charts (I personally don't see a problem with it) than the list could be reduced to those singles that achieved 52 weeks on the charts, which would both give a rational for the number - one full year - and which would make the list shorter and more suitable to be merged into UK Singles Chart records and statistics. The article's creator seems pretty upset about the article's listing here on AfD and has moved the page to Misplaced Pages is a waste of time submitting anything and blanked the page. I am going to endeavor to move the page back and unblank it so that this discussion will be less confusing to those just joining. I am sorry if you were offended, Vikingman69, by the consideration for deletion; it is not personal and we very much value your contributions, even if this page does end up being deleted.
