While there is potential for an article here, there is no reliable source to verify that the list is constituted by the absolute top most viewed reels (as opposed to "some of the most-viewed" mentioned in the sources). Unless that source is added, there is no reason to have an article with no known means to verify it. MarioGom (talk) 13:57, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: Sources 2 and 4 are RS per source tool, rest aren't/are primary. Latest source is almost a year out of date at this point; list would seem to be difficult to manage. Oaktree b (talk) 14:26, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify while we look for more and better sources. Being difficult to manage never stopped us from having other articles on lists that keep changing. The topic itself seems encyclopedic. Owen× ☎ 16:25, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Note that I did draftify this article before, but the creator moved it back to mainspace (which is allowed by WP:DRAFTOBJECT). Also note that the problem is not that the list is changing, but that there are no current sources to verify the most viewed reels. Sources in the article seem to be arbitrary samples of "some of the most-viewed", and not a definitive ranking. MarioGom (talk) 17:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

- Draftify. I agree with OwenX. The article is very much not ready for mainspace, and is only a couple days old. It may even need a rename to something like List of highly-viewed Instagram reels depending on how it develops. —siroχo 00:29, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify per above. Freinland (talk) 08:05, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

- Draftify. This appears to be perfectly plausible article topic (per: List of most-liked Instagram posts, List of most-followed Facebook pages, List of most-followed Twitter accounts, List of most-followed TikTok accounts, List of most-subscribed YouTube channels, List of most-viewed YouTube videos, List of most-streamed artists on Spotify, List of Spotify streaming records, List of most-followed Twitch channels, etc., plus other equivalents of a "best-seller" list for more traditional media). But it clearly needs sourcing work, including both more reliable material and more recent. I wouldn't worry about someone randomly moving it back to mainspace before it is ready, if there's an AfD result saying to draftify until we're certain it is mainspace-worthy. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:10, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify: Subject does not meet the WP:GNG as it is currently written. Draftify this for the time being so interested editors can improve it. User:Let'srun 17:55, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
