List of most-streamed songs on Spotify

 * – ( 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. See also Articles for deletion/List of most-followed Instagram Business accounts. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  15:45, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's a useful, infomative article. Unreal7 (talk) 16:01, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It isn't an article but an indiscriminate list. How is this useful?
 * Weak delete per WP:BADCHART. I wouldn't say Spotify has become to the professional music world what YouTube is with the amateur and professional video world, but I'm open to changing my !vote if someone can demonstrate that it is.    SITH   (talk)   23:45, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep The article itself contains a bunch of secondary soruces published over a period of several years, and a quick Google search shows there are plenty more sources about the article topic. I think this meets WP:LISTN. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:57, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article is very useful and informative, there are no other sources that provide similar information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awightma (talk • contribs) 22:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - this article is informative and useful. It is also backed up by numerous sources. How are lists on most liked and most viewed YouTube videos different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.242.78.44 (talk) 07:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)  — 76.242.78.44 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete per nom. I especially note, in the nomination, "These lists are magnets for UPE/COI promotional editors." The SPAs and IP !votes on this AfD prove the nominator's point. Ifnord (talk) 23:37, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 00:17, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very useful and interesting list. People look at Wikipedia exactly for these things. --Checco (talk) 09:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. I use the source all the time, and wikipedia should show relevant information like this — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.32.86 (talk) 10:41, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - This subject passes WP:LISTN. Skirts89 15:31, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Unlike Instagram followers, Spotify records actually relevant and independently verifiable by reliable sources. That influences the Billboard Hot 100. Trillfendi (talk) 17:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are not any other sources that hold this specific useful and interesting information. Deleting this article would harm the music community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:86:400:49C:D076:AE04:3937:3A69 (talk) 20:20, 18 February 2019 (UTC)  — 2601:86:400:49C:D076:AE04:3937:3A69 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep It's very hard to find lists such as this one in other places. Although it's not official (or updated frequently), it's very useful. ― Abelmoschus Esculentus  ( talk •  contribs ) 13:29, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
