 * Recent news articles and IMDB do not use his middle name Agiseb (talk) 19:18, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * So, does anyone have an opinion on this? As I've stated above, I think "Cary Fukunaga" is clearly the best title as that's the name most commonly used in news articles. Google News search for "Cary Fukunaga":

Japanese grandparents
User:Guat6 deleted reference ("Both of his paternal grandparents were Japanese.") that clarifies Fukunaga's paternal grandparents being Japanese, saying "I think it's a given that his paternal grandparents are Japanese." Disagree. That is why it was included. Fukunaga cites their important influence in his life and because he comes from such a multi-cultural family it seemed important to note specifically that they are the Japanese side. Beside the fact that this is a clarifying statement, it's unclear why deleting valid, sourced information was necessary. I understand editing the page to add value but this deletion seems unhelpful.

 * Hi, Fukunaga's father is a third generation Japanese-American. It's clearly stated in the "early life" section. Many sources have noted that Fukunaga himself is of Japanese and Swedish descent (with his father being of Japanese descent and his mother of Swedish descent). I find it redundant to include the statement "Both of his paternal grandparents were Japanese", since there aren't other sources stating his father is of another descent. That's just my take on it. If other editors agree with you and believe this statement should remain in the article, I'll be happy to undo my edit. --Guat6 (talk) 05:27, 28 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I can see your point on it being a little repetitive. I find his heritage a bit confusing -- the citation references specifically these grandparents and maybe that could be more elaborated upon to justify this clarification? Thoughts? I don't know, I defer to the consensus of course, but I would also appreciate additions to the page, versus deletions. I worked hard on the page to clean it up, fix dead links, and made a lot of effort to try to add content as he's newsworthy after the Emmys. It is a bit discouraging to see things removed (versus added).... Thanks for your response. Appreciate it. BrillLyle (talk) 06:19, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Filmography is cluttered
I propose that the filmography section be split into Three; Feature Films, Television and Short films. Anyone agree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.247.252.237 (talk) 05:04, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Birth date
I found two sources that list Fukunaga's birth date as July 10, 1977, but I'm not confident that they would be considered reliable and wanted to get some outside opinions. One is an article on The Cut, which is published by New York magazine, while the other is Fukunaga's Rotten Tomatoes page. I'm leaning towards The Cut article since it is not just a Wiki entry, but I'm not 100% either way. Would love to get some additional opinions! Sock  ( tock talk)  17:10, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi . Coincidentally, I raised this again here on the reliable sources discussion page, having recently encountered a similar dilemma. There doesn't appear to be full consensus on the RT source, and I'm not confident about it personally; however, it's not listed as a deprecated or unreliable source, so for now it appears to be okay. I would probably use both as citations for the above, using The Cut first as this would be my first choice. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:14, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
