Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Moved per consensus. bd2412 T 21:37, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
Ksiolajidebt → KSIOlajidebt – or KsiOlajidebt. While I was copy-editing it, I noted it says the name is a mixture from the name of his Halo clan (K.S.I.) and his name (Olajidebt). If his YouTube account is pronounced /Key Es Ai Olajidebt/ this is not a stylization as capital letters are not styles, but acronyms; and WP:MOSTM is neutral to CamelCase cases. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 01:55, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- weighing in as Neutral despite being the one who just moved it per a request on my talk that I may have misunderstood. Not watching the page, but ping me if you need me to do anything. StarM 03:58, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - His name is not pronounced K. S. I. Olajidebt, but as one word (and I think it's inconsistent). I suggested the article's current name as regardless of what capitalisation is used, this is MediaWiki's default target. - hahnchen 01:02, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support initial proposal, probably not the camel case version. Reliable sources seem to call him KSIOlajidebt, so we might as well also. --BDD (talk) 22:30, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support I agree with BDD for the same reasons, KSIOlajidebt. SilentDan297 talk 23:47, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support per BDD. Following the usage of sources is always appropriate. Xoloz (talk) 03:56, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Does anyone have a source for his birthplace? The first sentence says he is African, but there is no citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Veloriders (talk • contribs) 23:06, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Requested move 31 October 2015
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: moved to KSI (entertainer). Unfortunately my request for more participation did not generate any further responses, so I'll have to make a call with what we have here. I find the arguments that "video game commentator" would be too narrow to be reasonable on review of the article, especially noting that he has released charting singles. Other variant created as a redirect. Jenks24 (talk) 06:28, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
KSIOlajidebt → KSI (entertainer) – The "Olajidebt" part of the name is not really that notable. Also, I chose entertainer as he is a YouTuber and a rapper. 2601:8C:4001:DCF4:95CE:54AC:9EA7:1B6C (talk) 04:02, 31 October 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 10:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- I agree. He is rarely identified as KSIOlajidebt, and is now just "KSI". Also, he is coming out with an EP and is not just a YouTuber anymore. Mr.Cheezy (talk) 15:09, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- Move to KSI (video game commentator) we don't use the dab (entertainer) except where Google Books shows evidence that the person is described in books as an "entertainer". unless it is the amazing Madonna (singer) because she is in a different universe from other mere (singer)s because she has had a couple of film roles and sung in a musical film....

- No he isn't. Sources don't describe him "the rapper KSI". When his career takes off maybe, not now. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:21, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- Relisting comment. More participation required to decide which dab should be used. Jenks24 (talk) 10:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

ComedyShortsGamer
I know that Deji's (ComedyShortsGamer) page was recently merged with KSIOlajidebt's, but I believe that Deji deserves his own page back, because he is a very successful entertainer, and not just JJ's (KSI) brother. It's like having Beyoncé share a page with Jay Z because she's his wife.
Sincerely,
Mr.Cheezy (talk) 15:03, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- Deji is a very well known YouTuber in the community but he has not done much (if any) significant things that make him an important topic. Even though he is not just KSI's brother, he has not done any eventful/significant things, and because Deji is his brother, he is very well meant to be merged into KSI (entertainer).

- Oppose - Rapping isn't enough of his main thing for "(rapper)" to be in the title. Entertainer is fine. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:56, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Hmmm, you changed it to "(YouTuber)"? Not sure anymore. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:53, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Despite having success in music, he is known for other things aside from music. A good comparison is Madonna (entertainer). Sekyaw (talk) 04:26, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- @SUM1: @Paintspot: @Sekyaw: interesting. Okay, thank you for that. I did some GNews checks and you are all basically right. He is not known as "rapper KSI", but it also turns out he isn't known as "entertainer KSI" either. Evidently "rapper" is a non-starter and I apologise for not having done that basic GNews check before subimitting the RM. Rather than pull it however I've amended the template to KSI (Youtuber), to see what you think. Of course YouTuber is not as elevated as (entertainer) which would benchmark KSI with Madonna. But then he isn't Madonna. Paintspot and Sekyaw, seems clear that you'd prefer (entertainer) to (YouTuber) also, but interested what SUM1 thinks. Cheers.

I’m new to Wikipedia edits and I tried to add a box on his info but I messed up and now there is a big mess on his bio and I don’t know how to change it. Can somebody who’s more experienced fix it please? It was a mistake Reece Paget (talk) 17:35, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Full name
Given the date of birth and companies listed here -https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/hCg-rdhq8gvJyJgxH2xvQrXVuD0/appointments (see also https://www.thegazette.co.uk/company/10139490 where the name is given alongside fellow Sidemen)- his full name would seem to be Olajide Olayinka Williams (not "William") Olatunji. Internet searches will bring up numerous results for music (the titles matching those by KSI) produced by someone of this name. Of course this is "original research", but for the record here it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.214.254 (talk) 20:33, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
KSI, not Olatunji
Per WP:NCP, and more specifically, WP:NICKNAME, I believe KSI should be referred to as such instead of Olatunji. "The name used most often to refer to a person in reliable sources". There are a few examples in WP:NICKNAME where a subject is referred to throughout their article by their commonly known name; Le Corbusier, Lady GaGa and George Eliot. A simple google search of KSI gives results only relating to KSI whereas a search of Olatunji gives results relating to Olatunji Yearwood, with only two out of the first 30+ results relating to KSI; BoxRec and an article by the BBC that details a court case involving KSI's brother, which still refers to him as KSI. Even a google search of Olajide Olatunji gives results of articles where he is referred to throughout as KSI. Granted, there will be sources that refer to KSI as Olatunji but the overwhelming majority refer to him as KSI. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. I could go on and on. The overwhelming amount of sources give his full name then proceed to refer to him as KSI, as should this Wikipedia article. — 2.O.Boxing 12:57, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Just saw this! I previously disagreed, although having seen the sources you provided I'm swayed by the overwhelming examples where the subject is referred to by KSI. I see another editor has already made the change from Olatunji to KSI (without seeking consensus...) but I'm happy to leave it as it is. — Formula One wiki 18:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
@Masterpk404: If WP:NCP or WP:NICKNAME isn’t enough – even though it gives Lady GaGa as an example; who is referred to throughout her article as GaGa, and not by her surname – then MOS:BIO is more specific and clear. In the Subsequent use sub-section of Names it states:
"People who are best known by a pseudonym should be subsequently referred to by their pseudonymous surnames, unless they do not include a recognizable surname in the pseudonym (e.g. Sting, Snoop Dogg, the Edge), in which case the whole pseudonym is used."
Please do not revert the stable version until you’ve gained a consensus on the talk page – which from the links I’ve provided, will not happen, the manual of style is clear – this could be seen as edit warring. Thanks. – 2.O.Boxing 07:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Under "Wealth and philanthropy", please change "By 2017, the Gazette Review re-estimated Olatunji's total net worth at $11 million, citing his expansion into music, publication of a book and roles in film as reasons for the increase in wealth from 2015" to "As of 2019, KSI's net worth is estimated to be $20 million according to naibuzz".
Here's the reference link to the new 2019 estimate - https://naibuzz.com/how-much-money-does-ksi-make-from-posting-fifa-videos-on-youtube/ Zaydx (talk) 16:11, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Naibuzz appears to be a personal website/blog and doesn't provide any information on the reporter's credentials or on the fact-checking done. NiciVampireHeart 03:53, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
Naibuzz.com specialises in estimating net worths of youtubers. They receive direct estimates from the youtuber's management. You can search the net worth of any Sidemen Member on google like Wroetoshaw, Zerkaa, Vikkstar etc, the first result would be from Naibuzz.com. In fact for majority of the youtubers net worths, Naibuzz.com are the first result on google.
The reason why I want to request an update is because when you search "KSI net worth" on google, it shows $11M as the first result from this wikipedia page whereas when you search about his close friend "Wroetoshaw net worth" it shows $12M as the first result. That makes it seem like Wroetoshaw's net worth is more than KSI which is realistically not possible and anyone who knows anything about them knows that.
Moreover, you're already listing that KSI's net worth was $11M in 2017 so his net worth being $20M in 2019 is the most plausible estimate regardless because he has only become way more successful than he was in 2017.
Zaydx (talk) 09:18, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I'm also not convinced that Naibuzz is reliable either. Sceptre (talk) 12:47, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
How is Gazette Review estimating KSI's net worth to be $11M in 2017 "reliable" but Naibuzz estimating KSI's net worth to be $20M in 2019 "not reliable" ? They are both estimates, its just that one is from 2017 whereas the other one is from 2019. And you're using the 2017 estimate in 2019, hence I'm requesting you to use the 2019 estimate because the 2017 estimate is outdated now considering its 2019 currently. In fact, naibuzz.com is a much much more successful website than Gazette Review. Website stats - Naibuzz.com - https://www.similarweb.com/website/naibuzz.com Gazette Review - https://www.similarweb.com/website/gazettereview.com
And even after all of this, if you still don't classify Naibuzz as "reliable" for some reason, you can still get the idea yourself. If KSI was worth $11 Million in 2017, seeing the growth KSI has made career wise in the past 3 years especially with the whole boxing thing & Sidemen as well, his net worth being around $20 Million in 2019 is the most plausible estimate regardless. Zaydx (talk) 14:59, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Those blogs offering "Net worth" estimation tend to be extremely unreliable. Accordingly I've removed the Gazette Review. Neither Naibuzz nor Gazette are reliable sources. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
That Gazette Review estimate was confirmed by KSI to be true years ago, that's why it was added on his wikipedia page in the first place. It was one of the only actually 100% accurate information we have had about KSI's income. I was just asking it to update with the 2019 one. Zaydx (talk) 20:48, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- "[T]hat's why it was added on his wikipedia page in the first place" is simply not true. It was me who added the information a few weeks ago, not realising Gazette Review was did not meet Wikipedia's reliability standards; as it does not, the information has been correctly removed. I did not add it for any reason resembling 'it was confirmed to be true'. If it really was confirmed to be true, please provide a reliable source which says so. — Formula One wiki 10:23, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
KSI confirmed it in an interview 2 years ago, I'll try to dig it up. But more importantly, you don't need an official confirmation from the person for an "estimate" to be added, its an "estimate" for a reason. Not a single thing under "Wealth & Philanthropy" section is confirmed to be true, they are all estimates from different websites, yet they are all added. Literally the third line on James Charles' wikipedia is an estimate of his net worth from a website. There are so many wikipedia pages containing net worth estimates. The person doesn't have to confirm it because as I said its an "estimate". I am not removing any information from "Wealth and philanthropy" section, all I'm doing is adding ONE line which is the 2019 estimate of his net worth to a section which is full of estimates. It fits perfectly in this section. I hope I have thoroughly explained why it deserves to be added. Zaydx (talk) 20:36, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- The references provided in the James Charles article are from the BBC and Sky News. One of which is accepted as a reliable source on WP:RSPSOURCES. As all the previous editors have mentioned, you have not provided a reliable source. Naibuzz, especially on it's own, is not a reliable source. Provide a reliable source that lists his estimated net worth and it shall be added, as the previous editors have already stated. — 2.O.Boxing 20:52, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Zaydx, you are the only one going on about 'official confirmation' (as you so put it). Nobody else has suggested that 'official confirmation' or confirmation of any sort from the subject is a requirement; ALL we are asking for, repeatedly, and clearly, is that you provide reliable sources for any information you are adding. Likewise, nobody has an issue with 'estimates', provided they are from reliable sources (such as BBC and Sky) as mentioned by Squared.Circle.Boxing. As it stands, you have certainly not 'thoroughly explained why it deserves to be added'. — Formula One wiki 21:32, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for this, I have checked the list and Daily Mirror UK is counted as a reliable source. Here's Daily Mirror's estimate of KSI's net worth and they are exactly the same as what I was trying to add. Daily Mirror estimates that "KSI was worth $11 Million in 2017 and at least $20 Million as of 2019 - and that's before he takes on Paul again". Zaydx (talk) 21:16, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Zaydx, I'm not sure what you mean by 'thank you for this'. The above editor has only repeated what everyone else has said in that you must provide reliable sources (such as BBC and Sky). The Daily Mirror is not 'counted as a reliable source' per se; in fact, there is no consensus/it is unclear whether it is reliable, or additional considerations apply when using it as a reliable source. — Formula One wiki 21:32, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, I thought the whole list only included reliable sources and btw Sky isn't a part of that.
Anyways, as far as I can see Daily Mirror is in the yellow column that is marginally reliable. And that is giving the exact same figures as the previous two sources which I listed. I believe the fact that multiple sources are giving the exact same figures, one of them being as big as Daily Mirror surely is more than enough.
Business Insider which is also in the yellow column (marginally reliable) is already included in KSI's Wealth and Philanthropy section. Heavy.com which is also in the yellow column (marginally reliable) that also estimated KSI's net worth to be $11M in 2017 is also already included in KSI's Wealth and Philanthropy section.
Also, I said thank you to him for linking WP:RSPSOURCES since no one really linked the list before it. Zaydx (talk) 21:59, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Zaydx, I'm not entirely clear what point you're trying to prove with your replies. The response from other editors and myself has been consistent and clear: find reliable sources and use those to make a new edit the article; disregard Gazette Review as a reliable source and do not reinstate the deleted material. Again, I think you've missed the point. I'm not saying you can't use the Daily Mirror, or any other articles which haven't achieved a general consensus on reliability, I was merely correcting a statement you made. — Formula One wiki 00:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

In 'occupation', add 'rapper'. KSI releases music actively, he released an album this year, went on a tour and he has almost 3 Million monthly listeners just on Spotify alone. That's more than most rappers.
Michael Dapaah has only around 1 Million monthly listeners and he has the word 'rapper' in occupation on his wikipedia page, so why not KSI ? Masterpk404 (talk) 06:49, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

In the third line, it says "He is a member and co-founder of the British YouTube group known as the Sidemen, which has a combined audience of over 53 million subscribers." That 53 million number count is way outdated. Its over 94 million like its stated on Sidemen page. So someone replace the 53 million with 94.6 million and Social Blade should be used as a source.

- @Eggishorn: As I said, use Social Blade as a source. Its a sum total of their subscribers, use WP:BUNDLING for bundling citations like its done on Sidemen. So it should be like this -
The third citation lists all their subscribers which totals to 94.6 million which is their current combined subscriber count. Right now it shows 53 million as their combined subscriber count on this article which is outdated. It has been updated on Sidemen but not here. So someone do that. -Doublz (talk) 06:26, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding removal of sourced info
The first line "Olajide Olayinka Williams "JJ" Olatunji, better known as KSI, is an English YouTuber, internet personality, rapper, actor and professional boxer" was changed to "Olajide Olayinka Williams "JJ" Olatunji, better known as KSI, is an English YouTuber and rapper" by Formulaonewiki even though both the citations added to the sentence very clearly mention him as an actor and a boxer as well.[1][2] Formulaonewiki is also repeatedly removing the The Times source and still hasn't given any reason for its removal. My argument is that every reliable source that has written an in-depth article on KSI within the past year has mentioned him as a YouTuber, rapper, actor and a boxer. The Independent and The Times stating him as "YouTuber, rapper, actor and boxer" alone should be more than enough to justify the fact that "actor and boxer" should be included since both of them are regarded as highly reliable sources.
Secondly, the line "ranking as the third-most subscribed music channel in the UK, and placing him among the top 30 most subscribed music artists on the platform" was removed and replaced with "ranking as the sixth-most subscribed and nineteenth-most viewed channel from the United Kingdom, and placing him among the top 130 most subscribed channels on the platform" by Formulaonewiki. In my opinion, the former should be mentioned because KSI being the third most subscribed music channel in the UK has been covered in several reliable sources and is important information (along with him being among top 30 most subscribed artists that has a whole wiki page on it with KSI being listed) because Youtube converted KSI's main channel to "official artist channel" recently (you can see the artist badge beside his name on his main youtube channel), it is officially an artist channel now so his music rank is worth mentioning considering it has been covered in several reliable sources, I don't see a valid reason for its removal. Whereas him being "nineteenth-most viewed channel from the United Kingdom, and placing him among the top 130 most subscribed channels on the platform" hasn't been covered in a single reliable source whatsoever, it has only been covered in one primary source which is social blade. Plus, there are hundreds of wikipedia articles on YouTubers and barely any of them mention "placing him among the top 100/top500 most subscribed channels on the platform" and there's a good reason for that, because this information is literally only covered in one primary source and not a single reliable source. Pewdiepie is the only major exception because his ranking is actually notable and has actually been covered in several reliable sources. I know primary source info can be included in the article, I just don't see why an info that is only covered in a primary source justifies replacing info that is notable and has been covered in several reliable sources and is actually important because like I said, its a music channel now.

Any opinions on these two edits would be really helpful.—Sxkc (talk) 09:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Regarding the boxing aspect; he is technically a professional boxer, and sources do state this, but in reality he's a semi-professional celebrity boxer. He's not taking it up as a career and will never fight a legitimate professional. Freddie Flintoff had one licensed bout, with an actual professional, and isn't listed as such. The countless celebrities that have fought in Sport Relief celebrity matchups under amateur rules aren’t listed as amateur boxers. People that boxed in their youth as amateur boxers aren't listed as former amateur boxers. To me it feels like an unnecessary addition to puff up his CV, while also being utterly laughable considering the circumstances. He was literally forced to turn professional by Eddie Hearn in order for the fight to be televised. But, unfortunately, that's just my opinion and the WP:RS policy will surely be rammed down my throat lol – 2.O.Boxing 11:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- The examples you gave and this case has a major difference, and I'm sure you know it already, which is major reliable sources backing up the said info here. The amount of coverage that his one professional fight and his two amateur fights have in reliable sources, also stating him as a 'professional boxer', is more than enough for the 'boxer' word to be included in the first line, especially when the coverage from that avenue is more than his 'rapping' which is already included in the first line. If the word 'professional' is the issue here, we can just use 'boxer' instead of 'professional boxer' if other editors also oppose referring to him as 'professional boxer’ even though he technically IS a professional boxer and reliable sources also state that he is. —Sxkc (talk) 12:09, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
@Sxkc: sorry, you’re reply must have gotten lost in my watchlist. I wouldn’t be opposed to just boxer being listed. – 2.O.Boxing 20:06, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

@Brojam:@Squared.Circle.Boxing: So you guys agree with the first edit provided the word 'professional' is not used before boxer, I'm perfectly fine with that. What do you think about the second edit discussion (second paragraph) ?—Sxkc (talk) 05:42, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Sxkc: Would you mind providing the reliable sources mentioning this fact. I definitely think we should have it mentioned somewhere in the article supported by reliable sources, but not sure if it should go in the lead over what we currently have. I get that he recently changed his account to an artist, but the huge majority of his views and subs was not for music. I also haven't seen other artists on this list highlight this fact in their leads. But, I agree that "
and placing him among the top 130 most subscribed channels on the platform
" should be removed. He's actually not even in the top 130 anymore and like you mentioned I hardly see this on other Youtubers pages; they usually stick with the country-based YouTube rankings. - Brojam (talk) 18:24, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Brojam: Assuming you're referring to "KSI being the third most subscribed music channel in the UK", the most reliable sources mentioning that info are The Face (magazine), MTV, Yahoo! News and Esquire. The most recent reliable source mentioning that is The Face (magazine), its an interview with KSI & they literally state that in the sub-heading (here). And yes, I too agree that the statement "
and placing him among the top 130 most subscribed channels on the platform
" should be removed. I’m surprised the statement wasn’t removed by anyone before this. Not only are there barely any other YouTuber pages showing the worldwide channel rankings like you said but being “among the top 130” of anything is useless to mention especially when it hasn’t been covered in a single reliable source, you don’t see any wikipedia article of a musician stating “ranking as the 130th highest selling artist” or a wikipedia article of an author stating “ranking as the 127th highest selling writer” etc. If he was no.1 then sure but from 1 to 130 is such a huge gap that its just unnecessary & odd to mention especially when its not covered in any reliable source. Do you think it should be removed with nothing replacing it or should it be replaced by him being the third most subscribed music channel in the UK like I originally said ? I'm ok if you think it should be removed with nothing replacing it but then where else are you going to mention him being the third most subscribed music channel since you said that we should have it mentioned somewhere else. There's no other suitable place other than lead to mention it, even in the source it mentions that info at the very top. —Sxkc (talk) 20:29, 1 May 2020 (UTC)- Do any of those mention the top 30 artist channel stat so that we can link the corresponding Wiki list? Also, could you add the weblinks for the other three publications that you mentioned. - Brojam (talk) 04:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Brojam: Assuming you're referring to "KSI being the third most subscribed music channel in the UK", the most reliable sources mentioning that info are The Face (magazine), MTV, Yahoo! News and Esquire. The most recent reliable source mentioning that is The Face (magazine), its an interview with KSI & they literally state that in the sub-heading (here). And yes, I too agree that the statement "
- @Brojam: Here are all the links - here (...it is the third most-followed music channel in the UK...), here (With the third-most followed music channel in the UK.....) and here (... the third most-followed music channel....). As for the top 30 most subbed artists, there is a whole wikipedia page on it so its most certainly notable, it has been covered in few articles but that was before KSI was in that top 30, right now other than that wikipedia page, it only mentions that in places like KSI's bio on Google Music, Last.fm, BBC Music, Genius etc. like this. —Sxkc (talk) 06:15, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- So looking at the Wikipedia list, it's very badly sourced (ie no source actually having a list) and with no source saying KSI is in the top 30 I don't think we should include it. (P.S. that Google Play site is just using the previous lead from Wikipedia) So I would recommend something like:
As of May 2020, his channel has received over 21 million subscribers and over 5 billion video views,[1] ranking as the sixth most-subscribed and twentieth most-viewed channel on the platform from the United Kingdom.[2][3] KSI is the third most-subscribed British artist on YouTube Music.[4][5]
- Brojam (talk) 23:14, 4 May 2020 (UTC)- @Brojam: Yeah, I'm down to not include the top 30 either. However, I don't agree with the
sixth most-subscribed and twentieth most-viewed channel
because just like the top 30, that's not mentioned in a single reliable source either. I think it should be like Markiplier & DanTDM and just end the statement on subscriber counts and view count. DanTDM is on that exact same list, he's in fact the only YouTuber in UK that has more subscribers than KSI since the rest 4 are music/vevo channels & yet its nowhere mentioned in his article that he's the third most subscribed channel in the UK because that hasn’t been covered in any reliable sources, same thing here. As for the YouTube Music statement, yes we can add that with any of the above reliable publications with it as citation, I would be fine with that. - I think what we should make it:
As of May 2020, the channel has received over 21 million subscribers and over 5 billion video views.[1] In 2019, he was ranked as the second most influential online creator in the United Kingdom by The Times.[2] He is also the third most-subscribed British artist on YouTube Music.[3][4]
. Would you be ok with that ? The reason why I think the The Times should be included is because him being stated as the second most influential online creator by The Times is mentioned nowhere in the article even though its a pretty big deal (here are the weblinks if you wanna check - The Times, Independent). Mini Ladd was ranked third (just below KSI) and The Times thing has been stated in the top three lines of his article.—Sxkc (talk) 08:47, 5 May 2020 (UTC)- That works for me. - Brojam (talk) 14:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- Great.—Sxkc (talk) 07:56, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

- @Brojam: Yeah, I'm down to not include the top 30 either. However, I don't agree with the
- So looking at the Wikipedia list, it's very badly sourced (ie no source actually having a list) and with no source saying KSI is in the top 30 I don't think we should include it. (P.S. that Google Play site is just using the previous lead from Wikipedia) So I would recommend something like:
- @Brojam: Here are all the links - here (...it is the third most-followed music channel in the UK...), here (With the third-most followed music channel in the UK.....) and here (... the third most-followed music channel....). As for the top 30 most subbed artists, there is a whole wikipedia page on it so its most certainly notable, it has been covered in few articles but that was before KSI was in that top 30, right now other than that wikipedia page, it only mentions that in places like KSI's bio on Google Music, Last.fm, BBC Music, Genius etc. like this. —Sxkc (talk) 06:15, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

wrong number for total subscribers
i just wanted to say KSI's two channels combined have 29.55 million subscribers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Potato69x420 (talk • contribs) 15:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Potato69x420: you have to take into account that everyone subscribed to ksi's second channel JJ Olatunji is probably already subbed to his main anyway. even if this isn't true there is still likely a major overlap in subscribers that cannot be explicitly determined, and the channel statistics should not be combined in such a way to avoid confusion. what you're saying implies there isn't a single person subbed to both channels ( which probably isn't true because it's literally the same guy ). if it's a corporation on the other hand that owns youtube channels i guess it would be ok to combine subs since that's an industry on its own, but both channels here are owned by a single person (ksi doesnt have a manager for his second channel anyway) LambdaSec (talk) 00:32, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Boxing record
His current boxing record is actually currently;
- 3 fights - 2 wins - 1 draw - 0 losses
Please could somebody correct this Josh-gudgeon98 (talk) 04:06, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Height 6' or 5'11"
JJ claims to be 6' tall, however this is likely a generous number and evidence suggests that he is 5'11" or even 5'10". For example Harry Lewis is between 5'10" and 5'11", and in this picture we see them standing next to each other, and they appear to be the same height. Another thing, In a video from years ago he says that with his hair he is six foot. This is during the time he had a hairstyle which definitely gives him an extra inch or two: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pqwyf4-1KuU/maxresdefault.jpg Woodysums270 (talk) 08:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- That’s a prime example of WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH lol which is a big no no. Reliable sources, such as boxing stat/record websites and Sky Sports, say he’s 6'0. That’s what we go with, not 'celebheights.com'...which is the definition of original research. I’ve restored the height to 6'0 using the pre-fight Sky Sports Tale of the Tape from the second Logan Paul fight as a reference, per MOS:BOXING. – 2.O.Boxing 11:27, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
In the video of 27 July 2020, named Someone Hacked and Stole My Diamond Play Button..., he finally admits he is indeed 5'11" and not 6'0". He also said that Jake paul is not 6'1", as Jake claims to be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.85.245.137 (talk) 08:38, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
