This appears to just be a list of videos uploaded by users to TikTok, but there's nothing inherently notable about them. Singularity42 (talk) 17:03, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page that was created by the same author that appears to have the same issue:

I also note that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Bilibili original programming may appear to be a related AfD. Singularity42 (talk) 14:02, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Merge Douyin list to TikTok, merge Kuaishou list to Kuaishou These are not series uploaded by Douyin/Kuaishou users, but longform shows that Douyin/Kuaishou have a hand in creating (similar to List of Facebook Watch original programming). However, the lists are not that long so they could be merged to the parent article, though I'm not sure how it can be fit into Tiktok, given it mostly discusses the overseas version and not the mainland China one. If no good way of merging can be found for the Douyin, I would be inclined to keep the list instead. Jumpytoo Talk 21:16, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on WP:NLIST, One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. This criteria is met here in Chinese coverage, including an article from last month discussing statistics and characteristics of Douyin's originals in Jiemian, a modestly respected tech news startup (link) and an article specifically talking about the competition between Kuaishou and Douyin on originals in the Beijing Daily from September (link). These and other examples mirror the English coverage seen in e.g. Netflix Originals — not only are individual shows subject to media attention but also are the broader business and content strategy the respective tech giants adopt when it comes to these productions.

Also, I've added an additional non-primary source for one of the shows demonstrating notability and will do so for additional ones in the following days. WhinyTheYounger (WtY)(talk, contribs) 04:50, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WhinyTheYounger (talk · contribs) has shown that both "Douyin original programming" and "Kuaishou original programming" pass Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, which says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list."
