List of most-followed Twitch channels

 * Nominator(s):  Dr vulpes  (Talk) 00:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because this topic has a lot of web traffic and is well sourced. I worked to improve this list after I came across it in AfD and have done a lot of research into verifying all the material on this list. Including translating non-English sources, finding articles in Newspapers, and replacing poor quality sources with reliable ones. Twitch streamers are influential people and this list is dynamic so there will be changes over time as streamers become more or less popular on the platform. This is my first list nomination and I will make it my top priority to respond and address any comments or concerns that come up. Thank you in advanced for everyone's time and comments they really do mean a lot to me.  Dr vulpes  (Talk) 00:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Source review
 * Sportskeeda is not a reliable source
 * The Versed is not a reliable source
 * One Esports it not a reliable source
 * Game Rant is not a reliable source
 * The SportsGrail is not a reliable source
 * Worldpopulationreview is not a reliable source
 * The book used for Citation 12 is not from a reputable publisher
 * Dot Esports is a questionable source for reliability
 * Formatting is inconsistent, especially the use of the quote and location parameters.

On sourcing alone, I'm leaning oppose. This list is far from ready.  Sounder Bruce  07:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Sportskeeda is not a reliable source
 * My bad on the Sportskeeda sources, I'll find replacements for those asap.
 * Worldpopulationreview is not a reliable source
 * I'll address this and the other sources later today
 * The book used for Citation 12 is not from a reputable publisher
 * Rosen Publishing Group appears to a reputable publisher, it's not a self publishing platform. Was there something here that I was missing?
 * Dot Esports is a questionable source for reliability
 * Dot Esports is listed as a source on WikiProject Video games/Sources but when I went to look it up there is a note that says it might not meet the standards for WP:FA.
 * Formatting is inconsistent, especially the use of the quote and location parameters.
 * I can go back in fill those in.

 * Drive-by comment
 * There's a random chunk of text which is not a sentence: "top fifty channels with the most followers on ." -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Drive-by comments @Sohom
That's it from me for now. Sohom (talk) 14:52, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Would it be possible to highlight non-english streamers in the lede ? (I'm pretty sure someone must have covered that AuronPlay is the top Spanish streamer ?)
 * We probably shouldn't link to the twitch page of every one of these streamers.
 * Let's add archive.org links for all references. (A few of the references, like,   and others are down/dead) IABot and link-dispenser might help.
 * Does the fact that the streamer streams in the "chatting" category need mentioning ?
 * Instead of "Not released" we probably should just put a dash for Quackity channels ?

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

 * Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting + caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting + instead.
 * Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Row scopes can be added by adding !scope=row to each primary cell, e.g.  becomes  . If the cell spans multiple rows with a rowspan, then use !scope=rowgroup instead.
 * Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. -- Pres N  03:31, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Nominator has not touched this nomination in over a month and a half, and has not edited at all in almost a month. Closing. -- Pres N  03:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
