Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of most-disliked YouTube videos

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep (WP:SNOW). Editors show near-unanimous consensus to keep the list because it meets WP:LISTN, and argue that the high utility of the list is a stronger consideration than the nominator's WP:NOTSTATS argument.

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.

Keep per WP:LISTN, a stand-alone list meets notability requirements if the set (but not necessarily every indivdiual component) has recieved coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, something which has clearly been met here as evident by the lede sumamry. Additionally, this article was nominated for deletion two years ago to the day. The decision was to keep based on these grounds. Further, the list has become even more notable sicne 2017 due to the 2018 YouTube Rewind fiasco. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 21:36, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very well said, Spirit of the Eagle, concerning the fiasco and the notability of it deleting this article is unwise. There are no issues in updating this article, no lack of notability. I won't even touch merging because considering the other ADFs it would clog the main article, an additional article like this is needed. Garlicolive (talk) 20:53, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above. Roll 3d6 (talk) 01:51, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Even if YouTube actually removes the dislike button, we should still have this. SemiHypercube 02:29, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Leave this up, it's important information! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.126.96.42 (talk) 10:21, 11 February 2019 (UTC) — 216.126.96.42 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep as above. Cypp0847 (talk) 10:42, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Per WP:LISTN. Has enough secondary source coverage. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:43, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:LISTN, and 174,475 pageviews from 22 January to yesterday shows that this page is important. CoolSkittle (talk) 17:06, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but add more prose, such as year-based "History" sections, that better explains historically disliked videos. Also, explain that "~YouTube Worst Video of All Time~ vote 1 star, leave comment" refers to the star-based rating, which was later changed to thumbs up/down. --LABcrabs (talk) 04:35, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It's a hot topic related to one of the Internet's most popular website. There's no reason to get rid of it. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 15:35, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Very useful article which recieves a large amount of daily visits. TheMasterGuru (talk) 17:25, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources in article are enough to pass WP:LISTN. — pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 23:42, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sheer amount of dislikes to a YouTube video has been noted by many popular sources. These include the Rebecca Black's Friday, the controversial Call of Duty trailer, and the most recent YouTube Rewind. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 01:55, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think this is important, and notable — Preceding unsigned comment added by DPS2004 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why the heck do you want to delete this page!? The amount of dislikes came from popular sources and they are constantly updated. There's no way it could be wrong, unless if it was, but does not mean that this is pointless.ROBLOXGamingDavid (talk) 05:58, 16 February 2019 (UTC)ROBLOXGamingDavid[reply]
Keep per above. This topic has plenty of media coverage and is quite popular on the Internet right now. Saucy^{[talk – contribs]} 08:05, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per TheMasterGuru. VibeScepter (talk) (contributions) 12:43, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
