List of most viewed kpop music videos

Article has no notability on its own, and despite its creation, a similar list remains on the K-pop article that is regularly maintained. Youtube rankings do not satisfy WP:CHARTS. Also Youtube itself does not track this information distinctly and the chart has had to depend on third-party bots and users having to manually update the information.

Delete - "Hits on Youtube" is not an accepted metric of notability in this project. Tarc (talk) 13:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Tarc: This article seems to be based on List of most viewed YouTube videos. Do you think that one should be deleted as well? Random86 (talk) 20:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Regarding the all-time YouTube list, that has notability per all those secondary sources covering the subject. The last time the media cared about the all-time YouTube list was on YouTube's tenth anniversary where writers posted the top 10 all-time. But that's for another discussion. I just don't see that kind of coverage for Korean music. Billboard posts articles for YouTube Kpop video views at the end of a year. Otherwise, saying a video ranked number one on YouTube for the week is similar to stating their rank on iTunes, Spotify, Vimeo, or Hulu. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:36, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per Tarc and Northamerica1000. Also, given that a similar chart exists on K-pop, there is really no need for a duplicate. Gparyani (talk) 19:05, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The same list is already on K-pop#YouTube views, so there is no reason for a separate article. Random86 (talk) 20:21, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
