List of most-viewed and most-liked YouTube trailers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

List is nothing more than popularity data that is subject to rapid changes and maintaining these lists is not what Wikipedia is about. The list is inadequately sourced (apart from the top few, albeit not corresponding with the sources given) and the rest of it just a linkfarm of YouTube links. This content was removed by myself and one other user from Trailer (promotion) only to be dumped into its own article. WP:LISTCRUFT. Ajf773 (talk) 07:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge to Trailer (promotion) could be a better idea, but not sure about the consequences containing of YouTube links where other sources are available. Sheldybett (talk) 08:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * This content was already removed from that article. Ajf773 (talk) 09:47, 14 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep: There are plenty of other similar YouTube lists: List of most-viewed YouTube videos, List of most-liked YouTube videos, List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours, etc. How is this any different? There are also numerous articles from reliable sources discussing the most-viewed YouTube trailers, five of which are cited in the article. And the WP:YouTube references are not a link farm, but are references that provide up-to-date data on the number of views and likes. Maestro2016 (talk) 14:01, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The creator of the article. Firstly WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, just because something exists doesn't mean something else should (in my opinion, those articles shouldn't exist either). Notability is not inherited. This article is different because it's a cross-categorisation of both Youtube and movie trailers. We're not a collection of every single statistic in the world. The references to the videos themselves require continual updating and the order of the list is not accurately established by these links therefore WP:SYNTH applies.

 * Merge with List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours. The other YouTube lists cover the key essentials: most-viewed, most-liked, and most-disliked. The other list is of the most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours, which encompasses all online views, not just the ones from the YouTube platform. This one is different because it has an additional qualifier of the video needing to be a trailer. I like the information and think it has a place on Wikipedia, but just not on its own article. I think the information is much more suitable if it was located across the suggested merge to articles. Soulbust (talk) 05:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * There is already a list of trailers there. We don't need a list of trailers just for Youtube. Ajf773 (talk) 05:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)


 * saparted: is sparted a option we could have List of most-viewed  trailer on youtube and List of most-liked YouTube trailers Fanoflionking
 * You don't even make any sense. Ajf773 (talk) 05:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Passes WP:LISTN but a merge might be appropriate. (I originally !voted delete but self-reverted a minute later, because I was too tired to take a proper look at the sources. Also, someone please keep an eye on these Disney shenanigans.) w umbolo   ^^^  21:50, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Passes WP:LISTN how? Ajf773 (talk) 05:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The most important criteria is "is this something that can enrich the knowledge of a general audience, or only relevant to fans"? I would not say that a list of trailer views is of general interest to anyone besides a superhero movie buff. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:10, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:LISTCRUFT, WP:SYNTH and WP:INDISCRIMINATE . Unoc (talk) 07:06, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Randykitty (talk) 19:16, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete After the fifth source, it's all just 'cause the number on the site sezso', which is unacceptable sourcing, and the first five are just used to give an illusion of good sourcing where there really isn't one. Trailers are available anywhere, and this is just unsourced SYNTH.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 05:09, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. What does this prove? That a big Hollywood or Bollywood blockbuster has a trailer that is viewed by a lot of people? Well I never. The top entry can be briefly mentioned in the main YouTube article.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:12, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Considering that the other article linked below the article already covers the material, of the most viewed videos and trailers in the first 24 hours, keeping this list is redundant.Garlicolive (talk) 14:48, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete seems like a listcruft. Sdmarathe (talk) 18:03, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
