Keep While the list obviously changes perpetually... there are MORE than enough reliable sources and significant coverage for it. And in this decade, hate to break it to you, this kinda stuff is encyclopedic. That’s the way the entertainment industry is these days. That’s why respectable publications constantly report on it.

Keep - Have you checked
WP:LISTN? I would need to see a stronger argument in order to support this AfD. Skirts89 22:45, 10 February 2019 (UTC)reply
Keep I agree with Trillfendi, regardless of personal objections, the list has importance in the entertainment industry, linking news articles about it would be easy, the more views a video has, the more publicity it receives (and breaking records of the most viewed in the 24 first hours counts a lot) the more it spreads by the youtube algorithm. No one would claim that a video being on trending was unimportant.

Redirect to a disambiguation page: one that links to
List of most-viewed YouTube videos, and another that redirects to a section on a Facebook article. As Vevo now redirects to YouTube, the most-viewed YouTube article suffices for that purpose. --

Redirect or Delete: This is a redundant list as long as
List of most-viewed YouTube videos is update like it is. All of these YouTube lists are pretty much updated daily. At some point enough editors will figure out that the multitudes of all things "list of ...", that are predominately YouTube, is just spamming YouTube under a ruse of different closely related titles. Where does it stop? "List of most-viewed online videos in the first 36 hours", "List of most-viewed online videos in the first 48 hours", by the week, or by the month. If ZERO sources make up this specific list, no matter how much we like it, how many references, or !votes to keep, how is it not a definition of
synthesis?

Keep. This page is very useful in organizing the most viewed viral videos within the first 24 hours, especially when many valid sources comment on that trend. Yoshiman6464♫🥚 01:53, 15 February 2019 (UTC)reply
Keep: I don't understand the "rapid changes" the deletion nominator is talking about. This list is totally different than a "most followed" or "most-viewed" page. It is NOT updated daily... These stats are permanent until a video amasses a larger amount of views in 24 hours, and that seems to be pretty uncommon. This list will certainly not be updated daily or rapidly. Maintenance wouldn't be a problem— especially with reliable sources reporting about it.
