The Billboard Adult Contemporary (chart) has a long history but it does not receive the coverage on trivial aspects of its history as does the Billboard Hot 100. So why it may make sense to have articles on List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones and List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements by decade, it does not for these secondary pop charts. At best, repurpose to List of Billboard Adult Contemporary chart achievements with sourceable facts on the cumulative history of the chart. Without such sources, these types of list rely on an individual's own research going through Billboard back issues or (gasp!) Wikipedia and fingercounting each artist's number of number ones, etc., without further corroboration. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 19:30, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you're talking about the list of billboard adult contemporary chart achievements. I'm not planning on making that page. I'm planning on making the list of billboard adult contemporary chart achievements by decade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CheetaWolf (talk • contribs) 12:19, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - this is fundamentally original research with no evidence of any notability for the topic.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:37, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Same thing for half of the list of billboard hot 100 chart achievements by decade. There are no reliable sources for half of the info on there, except for the top songs of the decade. If this page shouldn't exist, that page shouldn't either. CheetaWolf (talk) 17:03, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - that is always an option. Certainly not a justified reason for retention  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   19:11, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I could at least try to finish the page first until it gets considered for deletion. CheetaWolf (talk) 21:05, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• This is just an unnecessary extension of the records and achievements section of the AC chart article and extraneous trivia. The sources either are about longest time spent at number one in the history of the chart (covered in the main article) or a book which is no more than a catalog of all songs which reached the chart. The R&A section in the main article is more than sufficient. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:41, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
