List of most viewed VEVO videos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. This article appears to extend from List of most viewed YouTube videos, but only using videos that are on the VEVO service (which by the licensing between VEVO and YouTube, will end up on YouTube within a few days). PAtterns of behavior at the YouTube list show the frequent push of IPs and infrequent editors to push specific videos up the list as soon as positions change instead of at the ~5 day interval the list is updated with. This feels like a means to get around the enforcement of that 5 day interval and still promote favorite videos. In addition, while I can readily find sources (beyond YouTube) that show interest in tracking the most watched YT videos, that's not the case with VEVO, and I would believe this is due to the fact that nearly everyone associates VEVO with YouTube.

 *  Support . The nominator explained why, and I agree with him. A list for YouTube is fine, but not for VEVO. Merge to Vevo article. TVShowFan122 (talk) 11:09, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I do not agree with both of you guys.
 * 1) I worked for 4 long, hard hours making this.
 * 2) I was not tracking, i found the resources.
 * 3) Not everyone associates VEVO with YouTube.
 * 4) TVShowFan122, there is already an article on the most viewed YouTube videos so I decided to make something different.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: Randomstuff207 w, I know there is a list for YouTube, I frequently edit it. However, while I believe the article on Vevo should stay on Wikipedia, a specific article on its most viewed videos is just not needed. Maybe make it a section of the Vevo article then?

 * Oppose: Not all the viral YouTube videos are on Vevo: Gangnam Style isn't - nor is Charlie bit my finger, or Wheels on the Bus. Unreal7 (talk) 15:44, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * While it is a different subset of videos, my basic point is that we can point to third-party sources that show interest in tracking the top YT video, but nothing of the same ilk for Vevo. --M ASEM (t) 16:03, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose: VEVO and YouTube are separate sites, the view counts for VEVO and YouTube are different and not all YouTtube videos are on VEVO. MLA2000 (talk) 10:21, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
