List of most viewed African videos[edit]

WP:INDISCRIMINATE information, WP:NOTSTATS. The only reference that splits hairs between YouTube videos and African ones is a YouTube playlist, which is not a verifiable reference of real-world significance. Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 00:38, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete OR/INDISCRIMINATE. Not sure would be "African" (Views from Africa? Made in Africa? etc.) South Nashua (talk) 01:37, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. While all the pageviews are sourced, there's nothing to show that this has any real-world notability. [[User:Lugnuts|Lugnuts] ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:01, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of most viewed YouTube videos - Per nom. Jdcomix (talk) 13:29, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Although YouTube is the major video website on the internet, I wonder if a redirect here would be perceived bias against non-YouTube videos. However, I'd be okay with a redirect if YouTube was somewhere in the title of this article and I'm also okay moving any pertinent information into that article.

- Comment: None of these videos are even an eighth of the way to being on the main list of most viewed YouTube videos. Anybody who searches and gets redirected will find nothing of the sort. Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 23:11, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and per WP:NOR. All of the citations are YouTube videos, not news sources. Even if news sources report on this, the amount of views from a particular continent is too trivial to add on Wikipedia. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 14:43, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
