Ghib Ojisan

(

)

... that YouTuber Ghib Ojisan visited Yishun, a Singaporean town, expecting danger after reading of cats being slaughtered but instead found it "home to nice people and cute cats"?

  The article notes: "He also recalled reading an article that listed all the happenings in Yishun — murders, cat killings and policemen attacked with a stun gun — and thought it was, perhaps, the most dangerous place in Singapore." The article later notes, "He also described Yishun as a cosy town that is home to “nice people and cute cats”."

Created by Cunard (talk). Self-nominated at 07:02, 29 June 2021 (UTC).

Article is new and was nominated within 7 days of creation. There are more than 1500 characters in prose. Each sentence is reliably sourced with inline citations. I did not find copyright violations in the sources. QPQ is fulfilled and no image was suggested, so image guidelines do not apply. "Stun gun" needs a disambiguation, and some sources are the subject's Twitter itself, so it should be replaced with a secondary source or removed until a better source can be found. "Ojisan" is not a last name so it should not be treated as such. I don't find the current hook interesting; is it possible to reword this or suggest a new one? lullabying (talk) 20:52, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. "Stun gun" has been disambiguated. The use of the subject's Twitter account as a source meets the requirements of WP:BLPSELFPUB. "Ghib Ojisan" is the subject's YouTube channel. "Ojisan" is how several reliable sources refer to him:
1. Geddie, John (2020-10-29). Nicolaci da Costa, Ana (ed.). "In safe Singapore's 'cursed' town, ghosts and odd happenings". Reuters. Archived from the original on 2021-06-29. Retrieved 2021-06-29.
  The article notes: "Others who have investigated Yishun's 'weird and sometimes dangerous' reputation, like Japanese YouTuber Ghib Ojisan have come to less exciting conclusions. 'I discovered that it is just a nice neighbourhood,' said Ojisan, who started making videos about Yishun last year."
2. Sholihyn, Ilyas (2020-06-12). "Japanese YouTuber tries getting a 'Singapore-style' haircut, says he now looks like an onigiri". AsiaOne. Archived from the original on 2021-06-29. Retrieved 2021-06-29.
  The article notes: "It’s a minor mystery that Singapore-based Japanese vlogger Ghib Ojisan recently tried to find out for himself while wandering the empty walkways of People's Park Centre to look for a barbershop. ... It’s an odd and unknown request for the hairdresser, but Ojisan was insistent about his preferred cut, even as the situation grew real awkward."
Other sources refer to him as "Ken" (The Nikkei) or "Ghib" or "Ghibli" (Today). With the inconsistency in the sources and in the absence of knowing what his actual last name is, I went with calling him Ojisan.

Alternative hook (ALT1): ... that during YouTuber Ghib Ojisan's one-year stint of backpacking visits to 27 countries, his guitar street performances covered over half of his travel costs? Source: [1]

Thanks for addressing the errors and I like ALT1 a lot more. Good to go. lullabying (talk) 04:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

reopening for now, since the article is at AFD. See WT:DYK. — Amakuru (talk) 15:00, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

AFD was closed as keep, ready for a re-review. @Lullabying: Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:41, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Article is still long enough, new enough and no apparent copyvio. Sourcing is solid and both hooks are good. Any issues from the original review have been resolved and the page is no longer at AfD. I am approving both ALT0 and ALT1 after adding a source to ALT1. That said, I still have a preference for the original alt. BuySomeApples (talk) 22:05, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
