Procedural nomination - the 2002 list was a contested WP:PROD by the author. Wikipedia is not a collection of statistics, and these pages are essentially a simplified duplication of the table at the sole reference, the Ultratop website. Hersfold (t/a/c) 04:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It appears to be a summary of what songs were rated as #1 in Belgium during particular years, which is no less relevant than the Billboard Top 40 American songs. What music sells best is an indicator of national culture. The presentation could use some reform-- do we really need 52 entries for 11 songs? Mandsford (talk) 13:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep : as per Mandsford. No good reason given for the deletion. Europe22 (talk) 22:51, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- With respect, the Billboard lists (such as Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles of 2005) provide a bit more information as well as more songs - the peak position reached, number of weeks in the Top 10 - information which is not immediately available in one place on the Billboard site. The Ultratop lists nominated are listing only the very top hit, without providing any additional information. Were this an article and not a list, I'd put it up for copyvio.

- Copyvio ? There is no list of # 1 on the site that was used as reference. Europe22 (talk) 02:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, let me clear this up... Belgium is divided in two "cultural regions", Flanders and Wallonia. As they are culturally different; Ultratop created two different album and singles chart for the regions. The list of number-one singles of Flanders article was already created, and everybody were using it as if they were the real number-one hit of Belgium, but it was wrong... So I completed the "List of number-one hits (Belgium)" section and added the Wallonia number-one singles. I included the references later because I forgot... That's it folks!
