His ethnicity is actually Ethiopian-Yemeni, he's admitted to this once on his tiktok page. Jimmybingus (talk) 23:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

You should provide a source on the legitimacy on his claim that he's Somali Jimmybingus (talk) 23:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Not on the Japanese Wikipedia yet?

This guy is the O. J. Simpson of Japan, appeared all over major headlines in Japan, and still isn't on the Japanese Wikipedia? Why don't we create something about him there? MaghrebiFalafel (talk) 18:40, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

He is on the Japanese Wikipedia, it just hasn't been linked, I'll link it now RowanJ LP (talk) 14:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

It was created and then deleted. See ja:Wikipedia:削除依頼/ジョニー・ソマリ, and check out Japanese wiki's relevant notability guidelines before proceeding. – robertsky (talk) 08:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Johnny Somali's discord server is monitoring this article

Is there any way to protect the article against biased edits from his fanbase? Jimmybingus (talk) 16:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

He has stated numerous times that he is of Ethiopian (Oromo) and Yemeni descent. In this clip https://x.com/dlkadadkadiinta/status/1777549230900642273?s=46 he explains why he cosplays as a Somali American when in reality he is an American of mixed ancestry with immigrant parents.

This person is not noteworthy.

This article should be deleted, it adds no value to the Wikipedia project - there are hundreds of thousands of petty criminals globally, we shouldn't be creating pages for every nobody out in the world who commits minor crimes and who's only noteworthy mention is that theyre revenue for youtube content creators. 2001:8003:E451:A200:F93C:A18F:DD7A:DA7B (talk) 06:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

I agree with your opinion to delete this page, as the only reason for the public awareness of him is his effort to merely seek public attention by making obscene gestures or doing acts that disturb the general public. Dedicating a page to his name merely encourages copycats to follow in his footsteps, and Wikipedia should not be used a medium of public attention for people with histrionic personalities. clayjar (talk) 22:46, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

His ethnicity is wrong

Johnny somali is Ethiopia. Please rectify this blatant mistake that for some reason no one is recognising. Everyone has raised this issue Smy99 (talk) 17:28, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

He is half Ethiopian and half Yemeni LibertatemNed (talk) 11:18, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

NOT JEWISH

According to the BBC article cited, his mother is an "Oromo Ethiopian", and there is not mention of his mother being "Ethiopian-Jewish" or "Beta-Israel". Vandalism 2A02:14F:173:FE1:E4E4:B4E3:7AF5:2928 (talk) 11:28, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

I removed the jewish bit a while ago btw; it wasn't supported by the sources seefooddiet (talk) 21:20, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

South Korean arrest

So is he being held in South Korea under arrest 11/4/2024 Has his passport been confiscated? https://asamnews.com/2024/10/31/controversial-streamer-johnny-somali-rude-public-antics/ 71.220.129.111 (talk) 12:38, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

The streamer Johnny Somali has confirmed in his livestream that his father is Ethiopian and his mother is Yemeni, which makes him half Ethiopian and half Yemeni.

Primary sources are not reliable. See WP:RS for descriptions of what Wikipedia finds reliable seefooddiet (talk) 16:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Why is Fidias Panayiotou mentionned in the See Also section ?

There is no mention of him in the article, and otherwise Fidias and Johnny don't have anything in common... Pyranox (talk) 09:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Johnny Somali's height

It should be mentioned that his actual height is 157cm / 5'2ft LibertatemNed (talk) 11:20, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

i don't really think it should; it's not WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC (he's not an athlete so it's not really relevant to his main notability). if you have a reliable source for it that might help, but even then i don't think there's a good case for it being in the article seefooddiet (talk) 11:26, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

It's information about him. I think it's relevant to add it in his wiki. Especially since he's so infamous LibertatemNed (talk) 12:36, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Is he known for his height? No. – robertsky (talk) 12:37, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

sources? – robertsky (talk) 12:42, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Read WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC, I linked it earlier and it applies here seefooddiet (talk) 16:32, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Former?

Since his accounts have been terminated, and he's been imprisoned in South Korea, is it okay to call him a former live streamer, and change some of his actions (streaming, uploading, posting, etc) to past tense, or is it too soon to tell? - OpalYosutebito (talk) 22:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

too soon to tell seefooddiet (talk) 22:41, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

You need to change his ethnicity

He is not Somali and it is confirmed by him in a video. He is oromo and yemeni as confirmed by him. So your facts are wrong here 2604:3D09:737B:F660:45EC:CD39:30A2:F3C7 (talk) 08:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't think we should take the word of someone (Johnny Somali) who has a demonstrated history of dishonesty. We're better off sticking to what reliable sources say. TarnishedPath^talk 09:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Korean parliament discussion

He has even drawn criticism in the South Korean parliament where during an October 30 session, several officials voiced concerns over his actions, concluding that his behavior would be monitored moving forward. [1]

Would appreciate more details on the discussion that happened. – robertsky (talk) 13:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Users on Somalispot forum attempting to make edits to this page

Users on Somali forums are attempting to mass edit this page. Is there any way to protect the article against users who deliberately trying to sabotage it? [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:D31A:2300:C51E:8421:5D21:FF61 (talk • contribs) 13:30 2 November 2024 (UTC)

So far it's just that one person; I responded to them above. We only apply protection if it's a more persistent issue. I'm monitoring this page so will apply for protection if it gets out of hand, but so far it's been fine seefooddiet (talk) 13:36, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Johnny Somali is not Somali, and it’s important that accurate information is shared. Editors should be accountable for their reporting and avoid relying on unreliable sources or overlooking critical details. Editor Seefooddiet, I urge you to carefully reconsider the information being presented, as it could lead to serious consequences if not addressed. B.n1pr (talk) 18:32, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

[3] I already replied here, do not make the same ask again without presenting reliable sources. If you present reliable sources we can edit it. Otherwise I will not budge. seefooddiet (talk) 18:57, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

I missed this before from that forum thread, but highlighting it now. The anti-Ethiopian racism in that thread is disgusting. JazakAllah khayr sister. You are right. Ethiopian culture is so degenerate it does not even register as news for them. I could care less what ethnicity Johnny Somali is, but Wikipedia should not be governed by racists with an agenda to push. seefooddiet (talk) 19:58, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
