I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:18, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm copyediting; please revert if I make any mistakes. Just one comment about the text: The chart was included in Billboard's Music & Media until that magazine's cancellation: I think it would be good to make this "...cancellation in 2003", since that would make it clear when the chart was included, but the existing source doesn't give that date. I think a source should be easy to find.

Can I ask how you're calculating these achievements? Is it simply by going through all the archived copies of the list you can find? I see this list in the sources, for example; what does it show? Is NW "number of weeks"? What is "editie"? And what makes rt100.ro a reliable source? My concern is that the article might be assembling incomplete data to make statements that might prove not to be true if we had all the data. I also want to check that some other source has listed similar statistics -- we should not be creating this sort of list if nobody else has done so; we're a tertiary source.

@Mike Christie: Hi there and thank you for taking this on review!

Thank you also for your copy-edit; I've added the year of the magazine's cancellation and added a source as suggested. In reply to your question, yes, I calculated the achievements by going through all archives that could have been found of the chart. That was a lot of work to do, but I do understand your concerns on incompleteness and Wikipedia being just a tertiary source (Do we have to remove all achievements or can be selected ones kept?). In reply to your other question, "NW" seems indeed to be the number of weeks of a song in the chart, and "editie" (English: edition/issue) is probably the issues a song reached its peak position (weekly charts do not have this; this page is a year-end chart). The rt100.ro is (was) a reliable source, as confirmed below on almost every archived page such as this: "Romanian Top 100 si denumirile adiacente sunt proprietate SC Vento Consultanta SRL. SC Vento Consultanta este singura firma autorizata sa produca in mod legal emisiuni radio pe baza clasamentului national. Utilizarea informatiilor continute in acest site de o maniera contrara celor de mai sus contravine legii !" → "Romanian Top 100 and the adjacent names are owned by SC Vento Consultanta SRL. SC Vento Consultanta is the only company authorized to legally produce radio shows based on the national ranking. Use of the information contained on this site in a manner contrary to the above is contrary to the law!". Best regards, Cartoon network freak (talk) 22:26, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; thanks for the detailed reply. I think I'm going to post about this at WT:GAN and try to get some more opinions; I don't think I've come across quite this situation before. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:47, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cartoon network freak, per the comments at WT:GAN, I think there's no way to promote this with any of the summary material in it. I can either fail it as is, and you can then decide what to do about the content; or you can remove the content, and I can probably pass it at that point -- I'd take another look to be sure but I see no reason why the resulting short article shouldn't pass. Let me know which way you want to go. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:00, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Christie: Hi there! I removed the content as you suggested; I'm happy to have come to a conclusion...

OK, in that case the remaining material meets the GA criteria, so I'm promoting. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:09, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
