[edit] DC-MUSIC-CHARTS

These would appear to be music charts for the Washington, DC area, as apparently announced on a couple of the radio stations. They appear to be specific to the area, and don't seem to be notable and encyclopedic, to me. I asked for clarification on the talk page a couple of days ago, and got none, so felt it would be worthwhile to get further discussion on the topic. Delete Tony Fox (arf!) 16:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, a bigger problem than "notability" of what appears to be a locally compiled music ranking chart for a subgenre of Funk in the Washington D.C. area is the fact that this article is not verifiable and appears to be largely based on original research. Before tackling whether or not local music charts are encyclopedic, I think those concerns need to be address and if they cannot be this article should be removed.--Isotope23 17:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. A grand total of two Google hits, one of which is this article. Not verifiable from reliable sources. No indication it's notable. No indication who compiles these lists, or confirmation that anyone's paying any attention. A bunch of crystalballery about what will happen in 2007. Fan-1967 17:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per Fan-1967. I grew up in the DC area and no one I know has ever heard of these particular music charts. Also, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 19:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Note Since history shows more than one author (primarily anon IP) author's request is insufficient. We'll let the AFD conclude normally. Fan-1967 13:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
