what is the purpose of the "response to youtube" section? I understand that some parts might be relevant as a founder of youtube, but most of the section seems irrelevant to karim's wikipedia article Forensicswaifu (talk) 08:22, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
forgive my previous lack of etiquette, i'm relatively new to wikipedia, but I'm unsure as to why the "response to youtube" section is relevant and believe it should be removed. The section just doesn't seem important enough to include in Karim's article. Though he is one of the founders, he hasn't been involved in youtube's operations for a long time, and as such a section dedicated to his responses to the company's business decisions just doesn't seem necessary.

“In addition to English, Jawed speaks German and Bengali.” He likely doesn’t speak Bengali

Jawed had changed the description to
“Noob vs Pro vs Hacker at the zoo AKA I Spent/Survived 1 Day Trapped At The Zoo AKA $1 Al Elephant vs $1,000,000 Al Elephant AKA Last To Leave Zoo Wins! AKA Never Do This At The Zoo (WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WILL SHOCK YOU)”

It's probably not necessary to be specific about his employer(s) (if any) as clearly they aren't terribly notable (else there would probably already be more about them in the article), but it would be nice for the reader to get a sense of his current activities, other than occasionally editing his video description to attack certain moves by YouTube/Google. Does he work in any particular industry, for example? Is he retired, or living off investments? One line (e.g., "As of 2024, he is employed in sausage research and development.") would be sufficient. If nothing else, it would help make the article look more current and "complete". 100.40.29.79 (talk) 12:53, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

According to WP:ETHNICITY, ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability. I don't think Karim is notable for being of Bangladeshi-German origin, I think he is notable for being one of the co-founders of YouTube. I have removed the phrase accordingly. But if a good reason to reinclude said phrase is present, please make it here. Zinderboff(talk) 13:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've lived and worked around a lot of people of South Asian descent, and I know how they will associate people with a religion by their first or last names, but nothing in the article says anything about a religion at all. This was the edit that introduced his religion category and a rather flat argument for it . It is a stretch to say that because one of his parents was Bengali, he practices Islam. He is equally descended from East Germans, among the most irreligious people on Earth, but we similarly don't give him atheist categories because he hasn't said anything on the matter.
I propose per WP:BLPCAT that anyone who adds any personal belief category to this page without good evidence (i.e. interviews with the man himself) should be given sanctions for adding unsourced information to BLPs. WP:BLPDS. Unknown Temptation (talk) 17:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
