List of most viewed Indian videos on YouTube

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

Viewer count manipulation on YouTube is evidently established through various examples in history. Check the list of these examples at List of most viewed YouTube videos's references section. In such a case, YouTube can not be used as a source to establish viewer count. Primary sources can anyways be not used. No secondary sources have been provided for the figures; nor has any source been provided for rankings. Even if hunted down, i doubt a "list" can be presented which meets our WP:RS requirements. Some entries can be backed by references. But those would be very few. Until then this is WP:OR. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:43, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm a little surprised we have a list of most viewed YouTube videos (although the topic does attract media attention and I won't argue to delete that), but to provide subsidiary lists by nationality is excessive. Maybe if the Indian media devoted a lot of attention to tracking the most-viewed Indian YouTube video it might be kept, but when I google the topic, there are a few hits on forums, but a lack of coverage in reliable sources. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:32, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with Gene93k, I'm surprised that such articles exist. Lacks references and although they can be added from sites like these, I doubt they count as WP:RS. WorLD8115 (TalK) 04:00, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I haven’t seen anyone disagree with User:Gene93k at AfDs. He is always perfect there.

Yes I meant User:Colapeninsula, my mistake. WorLD8115 (TalK) 15:31, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-this is such a random most viewed list, is there a most viewed American? Most viewed music videos on youtube or film trailers? Nope! Wgolf (talk) 20:42, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
