List of most discussed YouTube videos[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article lacks the notability required to create a separate page, unlike List of most liked YouTube videos and List of most disliked YouTube videos Yoshiman6464 (talk) 21:13, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Arbitrary measurement. Drmies (talk) 23:15, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. The number of YouTube comments is an inane yardstick. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:14, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. Though I do think that occasionally it is vaguely interesting and/or notable what videos prompt the most comments/discussion, the vast majority of the time it's completely meaningless (particularly due to spam comments), and so I do agree with the consensus that a list of the top 30 is too arbitrary and non-notable to have an article on.

Delete. Debating, posting objectionable comments and being spammed at does not make a video any means special. Donnie Park (talk) 07:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I thought "discussed" meant in the general sense, like in media or by academics. But no, it is a total of YouTube comments, which can also by as much as "lol" or "dis sux". Moreover, it is unsourced, making it WP:SYNTH on our part to look at "most comments" and listing them here. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:55, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW Delete as there's still nothing here to actually suggest how it can be its own article. SwisterTwister talk 06:20, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
