• Keep While the list obviously changes perpetually... there are MORE than enough reliable sources and significant coverage for it. And in this decade, hate to break it to you, this kinda stuff is encyclopedic. That’s the way the entertainment industry is these days. That’s why respectable publications constantly report on it.

• Keep - Have you checked
  WP:LISTN? I would need to see a stronger argument in order to support this AfD. Skirts⁸⁹ 22:45, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Keep I agree with Trillfendi, regardless of personal objections, the list has importance in the entertainment industry, linking news articles about it would be easy, the more views a video has, the more publicity it receives (and breaking records of the most viewed in the 24 first hours counts a lot) the more it spreads by the youtube algorithm. No one would claim that a video being on trending was unimportant. Garlicolive (talk) 21:14, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to a disambiguation page: one that links to List of most-viewed YouTube videos, and another that redirects to a section on a Facebook article. As Vevo now redirects to YouTube, the most-viewed YouTube article suffices for that purpose. --LABcrabs (talk) 04:54, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of most-viewed online trailers in the first 24 hours was started at the same time. One of the options is merging to the list discussed here. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:39, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This page is very useful in organizing the most viewed viral videos within the first 24 hours, especially when many valid sources comment on that trend. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 01:53, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Per reasons given above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.71.141.232 (talk) 10:30, 15 February 2019 (UTC) — 116.71.141.232 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
• Keep: I don't understand the "rapid changes" the deletion nominator is talking about. This list is totally different than a "most followed" or "most-viewed" page. It is NOT updated daily... These stats are permanent until a video amasses a larger amount of views in 24 hours, and that seems to be pretty uncommon. This list will certainly not be updated daily or rapidly. Maintenance wouldn't be a problem— especially with reliable sources reporting about it. Heartfox (talk) 03:12, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
