List of most viewed non Vevo videos on YouTube[edit]

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

This is an OR split of the main list List of most viewed videos on YouTube, and to some degree a POV fork. While sources have documented the top videos on YouTube irregardless of type, they have not broken that down by "non-Vevo videos", making it an unnatural categorization, and thus OR. It's also trying to work around the fact that the bulk of videos at the top of the original list are Vevo-based, but that's how it works, we don't have a say in it. This was previously PROD/CSD but those appeared to have been removed without question MASEM (t) 14:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject matter is very obscure and abstract. Who'd ever search for this? Maybe there might be the slightest interest at a list of the top non- music videos but simply non-Vevo? Doubt it... --Mr. Magoo (talk) 16:41, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is nothing more than a search result on an existing list. None of the references address the subject directly. I think the PROD mentioned above was on a copy of this list without a slightly different title by the same author - not sure what the point of that was.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:08, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This would seem to be an interesting topic that newspapers, magazines and/or webzines would want to talk about, but all I can find are links to non-reliable Youtube video compilations of most-viewed non-Vevo videos. The list is clearly an indiscriminate collection of information, although I'll give it credit that its not as bad of a case as the top ten most-viewed Taylor Swift videos on Vevo. edtiorEهեইдအ😎 23:10, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. It is very clear OR and does not add anything encyclopedic to the article of most-viewed videos regardless of type. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 02:16, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per WP:A10 as simple and arbitrary trimming-down of existing article. LjL (talk) 21:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think that it is a spur of the list of most viewed YouTube videos. I also think it is kind-of unnecessary to have an entirely separate list for non-Vevo videos. JakeR (talk) 02:30, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as questionable for its own article. SwisterTwister talk 03:00, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete has no encyclopedic valle; the List of most viewed YouTube videos already has this done. Vevo views are still on the YouTube site. Kyle1278 ^(talk) ^(Ctb) ^(log) 09:06, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
