"Oli London is a British Internet personality and singer.Mostly notable for identifying as a transracial Korean..." There should be a space between the words siger. and Mostly OdensGod (talk) 17:36, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Fixed, thanks NemesisAT (talk) 17:59, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

This page looks ready for the GA status. Any opinion? —Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 09:09, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

German or French translation
Please anyone who can speak German or French (or both) to watch this video (link), which contains an interview of Oli London with a bilingual television channel, to translate the video for me or add anything you find appropriate to the article. Thank you. —Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 07:36, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Transgender
Oli London has came out as a transgender Korean woman. The article should change the pronouns to she/her. She also said that she is going to join Korean Women's swimming Olympics. 78.135.101.121 (talk) 09:53, 11 May 2022 (UTC)


 * London still uses they/them. —Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 10:58, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * And he has since "detransitioned", insofar as that is a thing. 82.152.216.226 (talk) 18:52, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Many grammar issues throughout article
There are many grammar mistakes that seem as if they are the product of Google translate or other internet translation services Williamarsh (talk) 04:04, 14 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I am the one who worked on this article and I am NOT using Google Translate. I am not a native English speaker, so I am really sorry if my grammar is really bad. —Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 05:27, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

“Praised for transracial activism”
I would like to point out how adjacently false that statement is on the bottom of the opening paragraph when you open the page. Most, if not all, of people who know about the term “transracial” are completely against the idea. 2A00:23C8:5081:1B01:5D78:2E5D:8789:3C21 (talk) 08:22, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Please examine your points. —Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 08:48, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

The introductory paragraph is non-neutral.
It says his procedures are racist and appropriative. According to whom? 68.132.117.208 (talk) 09:18, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Critics. —Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 09:55, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

This article is a hot mess
Where do I even begin? How the whole page sounds like a gossip website? The absolute lack of any real achievement? This article wouldn't even be considered "notable" by some editors (even after an extremely warranted deletion effort) if it weren't for these so-called "significant coverage" whose content is only about his racial transition controversy and a rather concerning obsession with a certain K-pop idol. Yes, there is zero significant coverage about his supposed "acting and singing career" that is blatantly written on lead without actually being addressed in the article body (those passing mentions of "horribly received music releases" doesn't count, they only further prove my point). I couldn't care less about the fate of this one particular page, but still, all of this needs to be said. Wikipedia is, and should be better than this article.

But hey, now that the "creator" and "gatekeeper" of this article has disappeared off the face of Wikipedia, I hope anyone who has the right enough mind to vanquish this page once and for all can go absolutely wild! Just know that many people (including me) are silently rooting for you. Cheers. 「Hype Boy」 TALK 14:18, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

By the way, I've done all I can to slightly improve the quality of this article. You're welcome, invisible people. 「Hype Boy」 TALK 15:17, 26 August 2022 (UTC)


 * @HypeBoy this article is indeed a hot mess. i wouldn't delete it because people need to be able to actually get information about whoever they're looking up, but also yeah it needs more than just talking about the "transracial" stuff and weird obsession over a BTS member. but i guess when most of what people know about him are those topics, that's what the article is going to mostly be about.

Grammar notes
Hello to anyone who sees this. I have went through the article and fixed grammar as I see fit. In accordance with this I have removed the copyedit notice. If anyone feels this is not right and wants to reinforce the notice, that is fine. Schminnte (talk) 13:28, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

No longer Korean?
Described himself as "I'm just a normal British guy". I don't think he considers himself Korean anymore. 118.6.228.36 (talk) 12:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry it's a video on Youtube called "Gender Madness" by the New Culture Forum. I'm not allowed to link it. 118.6.228.36 (talk) 13:00, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Right-wing grifting
Oli has now taken a political U-turn and uses the invalidity of his "race transition" to invalidate transgender people. This has now become a key part of his online presence. 84.66.5.28 (talk) 08:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Removed unsourced claim. If a good source is found supporting the claim, feel free to add it back.
Having briefly identified as a transgender woman, London said he regretted his surgeries and is now an anti-transgender activist. Vixtani (talk) 19:22, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
