Comment: there are many Brits who do not see themselves as European, that's how Brexit happened... But anyway, surely this is original research and fails
WP:NLIST, especially as it has no sources whatsoever. Jan Hammer might have been born in Czechoslovakia but I would assume he had obtained US citizenship by the time he made his no. 1 record, which begs the question of inclusion criteria here. I assume the British acts were excluded because there are enough of them to make their own list. But
List of Billboard Hot 100 number-ones by British artists has the same issues, but is even more problematic – would anyone really consider "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO or "One Dance" by Drake to be included on a list of British artists, just because of a small feature on the song by a Brit?

Keep I don't see how it's any less notable than the article for British Artists or Australian artists. And the article is very useful, I stumbled across this discussion after specifically seeking out this article because I knew it had the relevant information I was looking for. Deletion would be an immediate hindrance for users like myself who rely on wikipedia for lists like this.

Has anyone established that the British/Australian equivalent lists are notable though? Your argument seems to hinge on that unproven point...

Three valid deletes, a comment about how problematic it is, and a
WP:VAGUEWAVEWP:ITSUSEFUL keep comment, and a consensus couldn't be found
Liz? I respect your opinion... but this one feels like an open and shut case, both conceptually and in practice...

Sergecross73, I'm not the only closer here who patrols AFD discussions. Any other closer is free to close this discussion when they see consensus. In fact, we could use more discussion closers if you are interested in helping assessing deletion discussions. LizRead!Talk!04:18, 12 May 2024 (UTC)reply
I understand that, I was just surprised by the relist when there were five participants, four in agreement, and zero valid keep stances given.
