Literally Another primary source from a close friend of his who confirms he is 30 (born 1991): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9GG56NN7rU Why is wikipedia such a joke when it comes to sourcing ages? I get the rules for sources but this is just beyond stupid.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.227.101 (talk) 23:22, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Here is a reliable source that Sykkuno was born in 1991. Wikitubia is run by strict moderators who fact check and confirm birth dates of many youtubers

Sykkuno was born in 1991 and just turned 30. He isn’t 29 as we just found out. 92.74.164.117 (talk) 10:48, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

The year Sykkuno was born is wrong, change 1992 to 1991. Lilypichu ( alt Twitter: lileepeechew) a YouTube friend of Sykkuno confirmed on Wendy’s alt Twitter account (naltsumiii) on June 12th, that his birth year is 1991. 38.29.208.81 (talk) 19:06, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

What other source is there to be when this person been friends with him basically his whole life and anyways almost every source has been a lie but some changes to his age has been made on other sources who have clearly read the comments on his (FRIEND'S) Twitter reply to his age.

Change Sykkuno’s birth year from 1992 to 1991. Sykkuno’s friend Natsumiii (Wendy) posted a picture on her alternate twitter account of her, Sykkuno, and LilyPichu with the caption “‘91ers 😊” implying that Sykkuno was born in 1991 along with her and Lily (https://twitter.com/naltsumiii/status/1403656381333389312?s=21 ). Lily confirmed this on her alternate twitter account by saying, “He’s 91 lol. Idk why it says 92 online” in response to a twitter user saying Sykkuno was born in 1992 (https://twitter.com/lileepeechew/status/1403826576186241026?s=21 ).

 * ❌, per the same reason above. ◢  Ganbaruby!   (talk) 19:53, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Well I guess this is why people say that Wikipedia is a lie😊 AJ87284 (talk) 21:11, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Sykkuno's age change
(It was confirmed by (lileepeechew) on Twitter in a reply that she did to someone replying to (Naltsumiii) on Twitter that Sykkuno was born in 1991 and not 92 and that he is 30 and not 29) That reply was said on June 12th 5:28 PST. AJ87284 (talk) 20:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

1991 (incorrect) vs. 1992 (correct)
For anyone attempting to "correct" Sykkuno's birth year, every reliable source that reported on his birthday this year says that he turned 29, meaning he was born in 1992, not 1991. Oh, and before you try to use one of his friends as a reliable source, they're not. L33tm4n (talk) 15:28, 31 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Correction - Per WP:ABOUTSELF, you are allowed to use self-published sources involving the subject for information. L33tm4n (talk) 20:30, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Sykkuno's name - time to reach consensus
There have been several attempts to include Sykkuno's first name on this Wikipedia page, and I have kept removing it.

Per WP:BLPPRIVACY, "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public" (emphasis mine). Sykkuno's name is not a full name (his last name has remained undisclosed), his first name has not been published by any reliable source (to my knowledge), and has not been revealed by Sykkuno publicly. It is true that he has "outed" his first name (or has had his first name outed) once or twice on stream, that is insufficient grounds to include it in this article and leave it like that in the lede or in the infobox. Adding his first name alone gives no additional value or context to the article, and we are not in a hurry to find out what his real name is. On Wikipedia, there is no deadline. It is quite obvious that the subject of the article is trying to maintain some privacy with respect to his full name, so let's conform with WP:BLPPRIVACY on this.

TLDR: Please do not add Sykkuno's first name unless it follows all of the following criteria:
 * 1) it comes with a last name;
 * 2) is published by a reliable source or by the subject himself (in which case, it must comply with WP:ABOUTSELF);
 * 3) it doesn't violate WP:BLPPRIVACY and other relevant Wikipedia policies.
