The result was delete. I am not a copyright lawyer, my task here is merely to determine the result of this debate. Therefore any and all comments related to copyright were ignored and the issue of copyright was not considered while determining a result of this AFD. On top of that, arguments about the methodology or the quality of the poll are, as was rightly pointed out, not relevant. If there were sources discussing the methodology they could have been used to add such content to the article, so that is also not a valid argument and was not considered. Which brings us, like the vast majority of deletion debates, to the subject of notability. On that front, it appears to me that those advocating deletion have made the stronger argument. That the poll was published in a notable publication does not make the poll itself notable. As with any other topic, significant coverage in secondary sources independent of the subject is what is required, and we don't seem to have that for this subject.

Isn't this just one long copyvio? Cf. with The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, which was formerly a reproduction of that list, but is now about the list itself. If I'm missing something here, I will withdraw... —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:28, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
