With my current nomination List of best-selling Latin albums in the United States having multiple supports and a source review done, I am now nominating this article for FL. My last article focused on the best-selling Latin albums in the US, this time we're looking at the best-performing Latin songs in the US according to Billboard. The structure of the list is similar to my current nomination with the only major difference being is that the certifications were removed. I initially placed the certifications on the list, but after realizing this article is not a best-selling list, I removed them. I look forward to your feedback and addressing any issues that come up. Thank you very much. Erick (talk) 13:53, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments - I'm confused by this. Is this list dynamic, i.e. if a 2017 song now gets a long stay at number one it will at some point enter the chart and then rise up it? What's the difference between the list published by Billboard since October 1986 and the list they published on their 30th anniversary? Are the lists since 1986 just relevant to one week? Am I right assuming this current list is the current view of the list they started to publish on their 30th anniversary? Sorry... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:52, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from BeatlesLedTV
- Some of the songs are not in quotes
- Table needs sorting fixes with definite articles
- Center the year col
- "As of October 2016" – that was 14 months ago shouldn't it be updated?
- "No. 1" → "number one" (You say "number one" later in the lead)
- 70 → seventy
- 41 → forty-one
- 20 → twenty
- I don't think "Disco de platino" goes in italics (my claim is verified by the link)
- "The tracks spent 123 weeks" → "the track"; you're talking about one song
That's all I got so far. Might be more to come. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 17:25, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Echoing some of the confusion above, this list seems to be based on a "snapshot" list published by Billboard in 2016 and is thus effectively "List of best-performing Latin songs in the United States between 1986 and 2016". TBH I am not sure how much use this even is as an article....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:31, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @ChrisTheDude:, @The Rambling Man:, @BeatlesLedTV:: Right so the article was created because there isn't an actual list of best-selling Latin songs in the US published by Billboard yet like there was for the Latin albums. After reading the above comments, I'm considering withdrawing this nomination and merging this list with the best-selling Latin songs article. I can wait until Billboard shows a list of best-selling Latin songs according to Nielsen SoundScan as I am in no rush. The last time Billboard updated the best-performing Latin songs list was in 2011 and that was to commemorate its 25th anniversary. I'd like to hear what your thoughts before I do anything else. Thanks for the comments everyone. :) Erick (talk) 11:25, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sorry, I'm still a little unclear as to what this list represents, so until that could be explained very clearly in the lead, I'm not sure it's a starter. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:13, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The list represents best-performing Latin songs based on airply, sales, and streaming. I guessed I should've mentioned that, but it's alright. I'm withdrawing the nomination as per the comments above. I apologize for the confusions and am looking forward to having another article FLC instead. Thanks everyone.

- Absolutely no need to apologise. I tend to caveat my confusion with the ownership of a four-year-old and an 18-month-old, both of whom are intent on destroying any chance of sleep etc, so things that I used to read and understand, I now simply stare at in some kind of odd bewilderment. I'll action the withdrawal. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:55, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
