Hello! Is Music Video acceptable here? Like, a song surpassed 1 Million views in just 24 hours as long as have a reliable source? ROY is WAR Talk! 05:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello! as stated in the lead of the article ~~"the videos must be included on at least four separate"~~ "[the videos must have] an article on Wikipedia" so if the video has a Wikipedia page, go for it. Out of curiosity, what is the music video in question?

Overly broad title

I know the "notable" is probably inferred, but having the title just be "List of YouTube videos" seems a bit strange, especially with the notability criteria. Perhaps "List of notable YouTube videos" would work better? MSG17 (talk) 21:31, 14 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

@MSG17 Fun fact: the article was named "List of notable YouTube videos" when it was a draft. I changed it here to remove unnecessary parentheses that is already stated in the body of the article. 1timeuse75 (talk) 19:09, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

That’s what I was thinking! In my opinion, I think it should be moved to “List of important YouTube videos”. Livingroom Productions (talk) 20:07, 30 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
