Comment: If there was any other more comprehensive list for android applications, I might say to delete or merge this, but this page just about meets |list requirements: it collects together android applications, which is a natural grouping of things; the topic of best-selling apps has received media coveragehttp://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/bestselling-android-apps-gmail-flash-player-angry-birds-2215028.htmlhttp://upstart.bizjournals.com/news/technology/2011/12/20/the-six-best-selling-android-apps-of-2011.htmlhttp://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/top-selling-android-apps-and-games-for-july-2009/http://technoholik.com/photogallery/mobile/apps/bestselling-apps-made-by-indian-developers/2911http://ph.news.yahoo.com/best-selling-android-apps-vendetta-online-guerrilla-bob-20110321-040608-205.htmlhttp://my.news.yahoo.com/best-selling-android-apps-samurai-ii-vengeance-thd-20110307-025857-723.html; the entries are generally notable (even though not all have articles just now, most are widely reviewed and new releases of Google Maps, Facebook Messenger, etc, get coverage in tech media); the criteria for list membership are clear (although there are issues about whether to include both free and paid, whether to include most-reviewed, etc). I don't see why this is promotional, any more than having a list of best-selling books, top-grossing films, etc, although there may be other grounds for deletion

Comment: to List of most downloaded Android applications per jonkerz well thoughtout comments. However, I'm having trouble with the sourcing. The sourcing in the article is not Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent of the subject, so the topic fails  if you look only at the sourcing in the article. Looking outside the article to see whether any reliable source cares about the topic, I wasn't able to find an  sources directly addressing the topic. However, I found http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/06/android-marketplace-clocks-10-billion-app-downloads/ Android Marketplace Tops 10 Billion App Downloads, http://www.bizjournals.com/prnewswire/press_releases/2011/02/11/LA45636 Most Downloaded Android Real Estate Search App Featured at International Developer Event, http://www.bgr.com/2011/03/03/angry-birds-for-android-downloaded-over-30-million-times/ Angry Birds for Android downloaded over 30 million times, http://www.telecomtiger.com/fullstory.aspx?storyid=13050&passfrom=vasstory&section=S176 10 billion applications downloaded from the Android Market, http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/022312-android-freeloaders-256511.html Survey finds Android users more likely to be app freeloaders, http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/technology/no-end-to-pursuit-of-appiness-for-australians/story-fn5kfsdd-1226356853681 No end to pursuit of appiness These show a general interest in Android app downloads, but not in a ranking by number of downloads.  I tried finding reliable source articles that include some of the apps listed under "100 million installs or more" in the Wikipedia article. If there were such an article, the writer probably would have provided their ranking in downloads. I didn't find such an article that include a download ranking. In a search for an article with Tiny Flashlight, Angry Birds, and Fruit Ninja, I found only http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2011/1118/1224307762367.html Be warned - there's no such thing as a free app, which didn't rank the apps. Wikipedia should not be the originator of any topic. However, it seems that Wikipedia is the originator of the topic, "List of most downloaded Android applications
