List is not encyclopedic content and we are not the Hot 100. Looks like listcruft and WP:NOTSTATS. List is nothing more than poll/popularity data that is subject to rapid changes and maintaining these lists is not what Wikipedia is about. These lists are magnets for UPE/COI promotional editors.

• Keep - I am against the deletion considering that this article passes the notability criteria. There was another list of the most liked tweets that was deleted because BTS and Obama dominated the list, making it a BTS-Obama fan list, but this article does not suffer from those issues. People come to this article with interest (surely even I, who disliked that I lost the timing and was outside the lottery of the japanese billionaire, can acknowledge that, let's be reasonable, just because he paid with money does not make his tweet any less valuable, you can't always win in life, right?)Garlicolive (talk) 21:00, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The WP:NOTSTATS rule prohibits excessive and unexplained statistics. This page is not excessive and every entry is explained rather thoroughly. 20:10, 12 February 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.208.136 (talk) — 67.176.208.136 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep - Wikipedia is the source of information. Some time ago I actually wondered what are the most liked or retweeted tweets and there is this perfect article showing how it is, without sources and explanation. Not only does it meet notability criteria but it's also an intersting piece of information. Keep, keep, keep. Ptok-Bentoniczny (talk) 13:20, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Just stumbled across this AfD from googling "what is the most liked tweet of all time". The concept of most retweeted tweets meets WP:NLIST. I don't see why the list of most-liked Tweets was deleted either; I'd think that these two would easily meet NLIST, especially for a social media site as popular as Twitter e.g. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]). Compare List of most-viewed YouTube videos, List of most-liked YouTube videos (currently also up for AfD), List of most-disliked YouTube videos. Ahiijny (talk) 03:40, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
