Map of countries visited???

[edit]

Why is there a map of countries he has visited? He's not some head of state or something. It looks like IShowSpeed himself has added that. Either that or one of his baby fans. 2405:201:4009:5182:F50B:5F71:498C:E8CC (talk) 14:01, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IMO this page shouldn't even exist. This is a TikTok influencer who is a non-notable figure. He's done nothing of historical or societal significance, unless you consider jump-scaring a 6 month old baby noteworthy. Why he even has a wikipedia page is beyond me, and I would encourage anyone with better edit access than myself to delete it and keep it deleted. Influencers who benefit from the suffering of others should not be given a platform or pseudo-officialization by Wikipedia. Unim1337 (talk) 16:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He's one of the biggest social media influencers and one of the biggest streamers on YouTube. Wdym he's not notable enough? EarthDude (talk) 08:16, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He's arguably the largest figure in online culture of the entire decade. You having a personal vendetta against him doesn't make him not notable. 120.158.5.147 (talk) 12:20, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Imagine pulling a stream 1M+ viewers, 300k+ avg and being the world's largest streamer and considering him to be low importance. Kai Cenat is high importance on Wikipedia - yet IShowSpeed is WAY more notable than him
Just admit you hate him because he's black 2600:1702:960:6CC0:4232:5483:A41E:F19C (talk) 15:17, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FYI...it seemed to have been re-added. I have since gone in and removed the map and am trying to clean up this article as a whole. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 13:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It got re-added again. I have just reverted the responsible user's edit. Underdwarf58 (talk) 10:01, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Schestos here are the details. Feel free to object if you want to readd the svg file Underdwarf58 (talk) 02:26, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I object to this because his content includes IRL streams in different countries. So wouldn't make sense to have a map?
The arguments made by the IP and @Unim1337 are ridiculously stupid and are not of Wikipedia's standards. Schestos (talk) 01:31, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly oppose. Map constitutes trivia and original research (unless every country he visited is listed in a reliable source). This doesn't belong in a Wikipedia article in my opinion. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 02:22, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reliable sources for this topic are certainly available. Schestos (talk) 00:17, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Like what? Underdwarf58 (talk) 00:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Given that he brings crowds to wherever he is, news articles have covered him, including here in Australia. Schestos (talk) 04:40, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which news articles? Can you give at least 2 links? BadEditor93 (talk) 15:08, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And this is just two examples from one country. Schestos (talk) 11:55, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes...he may get media coverage and thus is a notable person but the countries map is still original research and is inappropriate for a Wikipedia article. It's trivia. Those sources you mentioned don't list every country he has visited. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 12:26, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But if the countries included are backed by sources, then it's not original research EarthDude (talk) 16:34, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Error he didn't say he'd visit Taiwan

[edit]

Note 75 is wrong, there are no sources that said he'd be visiting Taiwan. 113.189.63.176 (talk) 04:18, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
