Talk:List of most-followed Instagram accounts

Sources disagree with each other on ranking

I checked all the links used as sources for the rankings and save for instagram and ronaldo being at the top, the rankings vary between sources. For example, some of the sources say Lionel Messi is #3 while other says Ariana Grande claims the spot. Googling other sites for rankings sometimes puts Kylie Jenner at #3 and sometimes The Rock. Which one of these should be considered reliable? Is there a way to scrape the data from instagram directly and use that as a source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Credulous Skeptic (talk • contribs) 00:33, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

The most-followed woman is...

Why is this information relevant? If kept, then Ronaldo must be mentioned as "the most-followed individual is and the most-followed man is..." 81.197.43.213 (talk) 16:10, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

== Cristiano Ronaldo followers count =448 M

Requesting update. Current Followers count of Cristiano's account : 399M. Thank you RaoufFifty (talk) 16:19, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Dwayne Johnson

If the most followed actress and the most followed rapper (a type of a music artist) are given images, it's only logic to put Dwayne there too—the most followed actor on Instagram. @B.Davis2003: You should reason it out here instead of edit warring and blatantly holding grudge. Gomez didn't get an image previously because she was the #2 musician on Instagram formerly and the "actress" part was added to caption after her account became #1 replacing Ariana Grande. Now that Gomez is illustrated as the most followed actress with an image, it is only fair and unbiased to include the most followed actor too. ℛonherry☘ 16:57, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't see the reason for a picture for "the most followed rapper". Such music specifications then should also allow most followed r&b musician, most followed country musician, pop, reggaetón.. 132.251.1.217 (talk) 07:10, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

To remove the picture of "most followed rapper" as there is already a picture for most followed musician, which includes rap music. There shouldn't be a picture for each genre of music (pop, r&b, country). 132.251.3.19 (talk) 12:46, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I've had the idea of putting a "Most-followed accounts on United States", what do you guys think? I think it's a good idea because, that's an English article so... we could also maybe do United Kingdom and Australia LRP19PT (talk) 16:16, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I see that people like Ariana Grande are labeled as a musician and business women. I think it would be fair to not only apply this to women but also to men. For instance, Cristiana Ronaldo is not just a football player but also a business man. Please create valid labels and descriptions for all people in the list. 2A02:A444:807C:1:E4F8:68ED:3045:7E10 (talk) 20:13, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Need to standardize countries

Is the country where the individual has citizenship, where the individual was born, or where the account is based, which can be accessed by Instagram? Many citizenships are not public, but using where the account is based can have odd consequences like saying Messi is based in the United States. Bvonsimson (talk) 00:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Is including the country really important in the context of this article? I'm looking at MOS:FLAG for guidance and I don't see the value in emphasizing nationality/citizenship/etc in this table. Especially because, like you mentioned, sometimes is not clear. - Ïvana (talk) 01:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I agree, and I don’t see a point in highlighting country of origin, especially without a clear framework for choosing the country. Bvonsimson (talk) 23:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
