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. Created by a
sockpuppet for these purposes.

- Speedy delete per A10. Duplicates the main Instagram list. Would not be averse to a redirect. SITH (talk) 23:43, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Agree with above, the main list already serves its purpose, one this specific is trivial listcruft. Yeenosaurus ( talk) 🍁 01:27, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTSTATS. -- K.e.coffman ( talk) 23:30, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete because it is a mirror of SocialBlade, and also because Instagram changed its data collection policy to exclude non-business accounts for public statistics. Where are Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, the Kardashians, the Jenners and more? Since they use personal (not business) accounts, we see NatGeo, Nike, Victoria's Secret and more getting higher ranks on this "top accounts" list. Just scrap the list, and confine this to a small paragraph on Instagram's page. -- LABcrabs ( talk) 04:30, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete – The category of Instagram "business accounts" is an arbitrary one; there is no need to track them separately from regular accounts. — JFG talk 15:17, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete—seemingly arbitrary distinction. — pythoncoder ( talk | contribs) 23:09, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
