Keep Following this criteria shouldn't all "List of.." articles be removed? I fail to see why this article is singled out. NixinovaTC 18:27, 10 February 2019 (UTC)reply
It wasn't as there are others nominated for the same reasons. I gave policy reasons for deleting and you gave none to back up your keep or address my points. —

Delete. As I mentioned on the article's talk page, it is incomplete because it probably doesn't include enough posts from
TikTok/Douyin. Also, TikTok posts are hard to cite because the Like counts are only viewable through the app. –

Delete. Original research, unverifiable and ever changing stats. Also a very poor example of cross categorisation.

Delete I've found no evidence that the overarching category is notable. There are many sources for the most liked YouTube video, Instagram post, etc., but nothing for the most liked posts across all websites. Additionally, there is no way to cleanly compile all internet posts into a single list like it is with posts on a single website, so this list will by definition require original research to fill out. Additionally, there are an utterly massive number of websites across the world where its possible to "like" a post (some of which are more accesable than others), so I have serious doubts that this original research will be particularily accurate. TL;DR: the article violates
WP:LISTN,
WP:OR,
WP:INDISCRIMINATE and
WP:V.

Comment: if this discussion results in "delete" could I have it moved back into my userspace instead? NixinovaTC 22:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)reply
I don’t think that would be an appropriate use of userspace, since the article has little chance of meeting the various policies I previously cited. Regardless of our policy though, this was interesting to read and I’m sure there is somewhere on the internet that will accept it. If you can find a suitable location, I’d happily change my vote to Transwiki. Maybe check
Everipedia: they currently lack this article and don't have our notability requirements

Delete - "Liking" an entire video on YouTube is different than "liking" a simple Instagram post. Yoshiman6464♫🥚 01:58, 15 February 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete. Yeah, unlike the other existing "List of..." articles, this format is a much more unusual construction that I don't see being used very often at all. It's kind of like comparing apples and oranges. From a cursory google search of "most popular posts on the internet of all time", I can find reliable sources discussing the most-liked Instagram posts, most-popular Reddit posts, most-popular Tweets, most-popular Tumblr post, most-viewed BuzzFeed posts, most-popular Imgur posts, most-popular Facebook posts (in that order), but none that compare posts across multiple sites. I could find this
Mental Floss article, but it compares websites like Lifehacker and BuzzFeed, not the usual social media suspects. There was this
BuzzFeed article that talks about a service that compares images across Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and Flickr, but it doesn't actually list them in that article. So I don't think this article would pass
WP:LISTN.
