This is a list of movie trailers on YouTube with the most 'likes'; its lead asserts that the information about the number of likes has been taken from the videos themselves which, although they aren't cited, would be doing OR using primary sources. The ref list is entirely made up of links to Wikipedia articles about the movies in question, and I don't see any evidence that 'Movie trailers on YouTube that have been given lots of likes' is a notable topic in reliable, independent sources of the sort that would merit an NLIST pass. My apologies to the author, who has obviously put a lot of time and effort into this creation, but it's not suitable for a list on Wikipedia. GirthSummit _(blether) 16:45, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not a notable topic, nor a list with meaningful criteria, considering how "likes" and similar actions are easily manipulated online. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:05, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Erik. I cannot find any reliable sources to support that "like"s for a trailer are meaningful, much less notable. Schazjmd (talk) 17:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
delete as OR-fest which is surely inaccurate in many aspects, not to mention being something of a trivia point. I note in particularly all the "fastest to X million views" entries, all for one trailer for an Indian movie, which happened to be released recently. Surely views for the Avengers trailers rose faster, but nobody was keeping track back then, I would guess. Mangoe (talk) 17:51, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per the above. Probably a re-creation too: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of most-viewed and most-liked YouTube trailers Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:29, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Original Research based on data of dubious quality to begin with. XOR'easter (talk) 20:44, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The video hits probably do not need individual references, however the process of updating these totals is unwieldy - yet that is not a reason to delete. The list may fulfill WP:LISTN criteria. Unfortunately WP:INTERESTING is not a good reason to keep. I will think this one over for a bit. Lightburst (talk) 20:58, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with Eric, such lists tend to be rifle with manipulation. Garlicolive (talk) 16:35, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Obvious original research. Ajf773 (talk) 22:30, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
