The result was merge to List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours. There appears to be a rough consensus against keeping this page. Within that camp the preferred course, albeit narrowly, is to merge. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:29, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

List of most-viewed online trailers in the first 24 hours

 * – ( 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.

 * Merge into List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours. Trailers are a subset of videos.    SITH   (talk)   23:38, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research, no sources to confirm this is an accurate ordered list. Ajf773 (talk) 10:49, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. New entries get many news reports, see e.g. Google search . Also large reader interest with 435000 views in the last 90 days. Otherwise merge to List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours. It would practically be a keep and move since 19 of the current top-20 would be trailers, and the exception is also a promotional video before a film release. Individual view counts are sourced. Ajf773's concern might be addressed with Inc-up or a note. PrimeHunter (talk) 02:29, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. merge with a list of top videos is not useful, I search a lot of information related only to movies and this list is always useful, for example, now i wanted to compare the trailer of frozen 2 with the most viewed the first 24 hours, that's why i was looking for this information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.176.122.154 (talk) 19:28, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge into List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours. - Brojam (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment as the creator of this page, I wanted to seperate the more commercial trailers from the videos that mainly become popular online (such as music videos and original viral videos). If this page were to merge into "List of most-viewed online videos", then all of the top videos would all come from movie trailers. On the one hand, it organizes all of the most viewed movie trailers of all time. On the other hands, all of the views from the music videos would be hidden by more popular film trailers.

 * Merge: Merge into Trailer (promotion). That page already has a list of most viewed total and most liked on YouTube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.71.141.232 (talk) 10:34, 15 February 2019 (UTC)  — 116.71.141.232 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Not a terrible idea, but it's easy enough to just transclude it onto the page Primefac (talk) 15:55, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours. However, I think the merge should result in both tables being kept as-is; neither page is large, and given the huge discrepancy between the two lists (only one non-trailer has more views than the lowest trailer) it should be important to keep the trailers separate from the non-trailers to keep the information from being lost. In other words, there's not much point in arbitrarily having two similar lists on two different pages. Primefac (talk) 15:55, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
