Trivial intersection; a list of all Hot 100 singles for American Idol contestants. This list, in addition to having no sources for the chart positions, is redundant to the existing discography pages. Also, the "Most weeks on chart" sections are unsourced. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Legitimate fork of American Idol. After discussion on Talk:American_Idol#Very_long_article, the section was deleted from American Idol, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Idol&diff=185701429&oldid=185654427], and transferred to American Idol Hot 100 singles, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Idol_Hot_100_singles&oldid=185700613].

  • Keep. Is worthwhile even if only as a navigation aid. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as trivia. Wikipedia is not a repository of every ranking chart and collection of lists. Wikipedia is not The Hit Parade doktorb wordsdeeds 12:47, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Aspects. This can be considered an important part of Wikipedia's coverage of American Idol. Splitting articles is a smart way to organize content in complicance with WP:LENGTH. --PeaceNT (talk) 03:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:LENGTH is one of the strangest keep arguments I've ever seen at AfD. I see no particular reason why the number of Billboard "Hot 100" singles is a useful metric that enriches either the American Idol article or is in any way more useful than the category system as a navigational aid (e.g., check out the bottom of "A Moment Like This"). ˉˉanetode╦╩ 07:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
