List of most-followed Twitter accounts
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

List is not encyclopedic content and we are not the Hot 100. Looks like listcruft and WP:NOTSTATS. List is nothing more than poll/popularity data that is subject to rapid changes and maintaining these lists is not what Wikipedia is about. These lists are magnets for UPE/COI promotional editors.

 * Keep - I think this passes even basic notability standards such as WP:GNG. Skirts89 (talk) 21:15, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Skirts89, Notability isn't sufficient even by what you cite...check the last bullet point, "perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information".
 * Comment I will have to see some more convincing arguments for deletion in order to support the AfD. Skirts89 (talk) 22:33, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep A large number of studies have been performed on Twitter accounts and interaction, many of which have focused on the most followed Twitter accounts. Additionally, there has been a bit of news coverage (although its far less impressive than the journal articles). I beleive that WP:LISTN has been satisfied.

 * Keep per above. Satisfies WP:LISTN (and even WP:GNG). Has enough secondary source coverage. Paintspot Infez (talk) 20:22, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep – Top Twitter accounts have been the subject of significant and longstanding RS coverage and analysis. Maintenance of this particular list is rather light, checking once a month on current rankings. Finally I have seen no evidence of UPE/COI editing here, and there is no edit warring to speak of. Nomination reeks of WP:I just don't like it. — JFG talk 15:12, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes WP:LISTN. This is not a top-quality source check, but I found, , , and especially (just kidding) —   python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 23:25, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as appears to satisfy WP:LISTN. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 11:05, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
