Talk:Ghib Ojisan

HiloIOK edits on 18 July 2021
I am reverting this 18 July 2021 edit from HiloIOK (which was reinstated by Ekuftle here) per the policy WP:BLPSOURCES, which says: "Wikipedia's sourcing policy, Verifiability, says that all quotations and any material must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation; material not meeting this standard may be removed. This policy extends that principle, adding that . This applies whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable and whether it is in a biography or in some other article."

The edits introduce incorrect information and information not supported by reliable sources: Cunard (talk) 19:40, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) "Singaporean (PR)" – no source says Ghib Ojisan is a permanent resident in Singapore. According to the video description of this 10 July 2021 video from the Ghib Ojisan YouTube channel, "After living in Singapore for 2.5 years, I finally decided to apply for PR. What are the cons and pros of becoming a permanent resident?" Adding that the subject is a a permanent resident of Singapore is false information in violation of BLP.
 * 2) The edits changed His video received a large amount of media attention and led to a large increase in YouTube subscribers from outside Japan, which had until then been his primary audience. to His video received a large amount of media attention and led to a large increase in YouTube subscribers from outside Japan, which had until then been his primary audience who were enthusiasts about Singapore. No reliable sources say that his YouTube subscribers before he received a large amount of attention had previously been "enthusiasts about Singapore". Instead, this article from Kyodo News's NNA Japan supports the previous text; it says, "It became a hot topic on the net news, and the number of viewers in Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States increased at a stretch. Currently, the number of subscribers is over 150,000. As the number of overseas viewers increased, the percentage of Japanese people fell to about 30%." It is a violation of Verifiability to make this change.
 * 3) The sentence Despite Singapore's high cost of living, he remained in the country for two months to see her. was changed to Despite his tight budget and Singapore being a relatively affluent place for a backpacking style of travel, he remained in the country for two months to be with her. The sentence is sourced to this article, which says: "And turns out, Ghib Ojisan met his wife, a Singaporean girl, back then when he was doing a travel vlog here. He then went on to stay here for two months, even though backpacking in Singapore was pretty expensive." Even though the article says he was backpacking, the article does not say that he had "tight budget", so it violates No original research to add that.
 * 4) The sentence The couple chose to remain in Singapore. was changed to When deciding between either living in Japan or Singapore, the couple chose to remain in Singapore after weighing in both the pros and cons of both countries. The sentence is sourced to this article, which does not say that they were deciding between Japan and Singapore. The article does not say they were "weighing in both the pros and cons of both countries" so it is a violation of Verifiability to add this.

Name
"Ojisan" is Japanese for "uncle", and "Ghib Ojisan" (Uncle Ghib) is clearly a pen name. If their real name is unknown, the article should refer to them as "Ghib". Jpatokal (talk) 09:58, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I replaced "Ojisan" with the subject's full pen name "Ghib Ojisan" since the subject's surname is unknown. There is related discussion about this at Template:Did you know nominations/Ghib Ojisan. Cunard (talk) 10:21, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
