"Canadian-born Japanese" - How is he Japanese? Isn't he Canadian? THE NEW ImmortalWizard (chat) 21:49, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
The fact that he states it doesn't necessarily mean it's true. he may consider himself one just because he's been acclimated into the culture and became a fluent Japanese speaker. The fact that he's being routinely stopped at the border and that there is documentation indicated that NJPW has been trying to ban him from entering Japan, seems to indicate that he's not a Japanese citizen. A Japanese citizen would have automatic rights to enter the country and can never be banned from the country. In addition, Omega never provided any proof, such as a citizenship certificate, natrualization record, passport, etc. He's also never indicated any details about the supposed naturalization, such as the date of it or location. Lastly, Japanese Nationality Law requires foreigners to officially renounce citizenship. Japanese law does not allow dual citizenship. It doesn't look like Omega has gone to the Canadian government to renounce his citizenship, which would be highly unlikely. Therefore, I don't think there is sufficient evidence to indicate that he is a Japanese citizen. Here is an article that seems to increase the doubt that he has naturalized. https://www.ringsidenews.com/2019/11/07/attempts-made-to-ban-kenny-omega-from-entry-into-japan/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.12.174 ( talk) 16:09, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Reviewer: Lee Vilenski ( talk · contribs) 07:42, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for
GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.
If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)
I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.
Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs)
Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

In the section ‘[ Bullet Club and various championship reigns]’, the last paragraph states that Omega’s 2017 Wrestle Kingdom 11 match against Kazuchika Okada was the longest main event in Tokyo Dome history. This was true at the time, but the record was broken in 2021 by Kota Ibushi and Jay White at Wrestle Kingdom 15. The 48:05 match time is listed on [ the Wikipedia page for Wrestle Kingdom 15]. Suggest either deleting the reference to the longest match, or updating to say that the record has since been broken. 97.120.218.215 ( talk) 01:35, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

@ KyleJoan: You began a conversation on my user talk page, but let's have it here on the article's talk page. For anyone else reading this, we are discussing the bottom paragraph of the personal life section in this version of the article, which has been reverted.
First all, the paragraph is primarily sourced by Yahoo News and WON/WOR. When I said "Primarily", I did not mean 6 divided by 3; "Primarily" means the information itself is mainly drawn WON/WOR and Yahoo News but augmented by addition of Outsports who confirm what's already stated by WON/WOR and Yahoo News. I can and will take out the Outsports sources if you'd like me to, but I feel that everything I've written will still stand on the Yahoo News and WON/WOR sources I've included alone. Also, WOR and WON are the same entity (in a near-literal sense, both being Journalist Dave Meltzer), in the same manner a video from CNN and a written article from CNN are both CNN, or a video with Journalist A and an article by Journalist A are both sourced from Journalist A.
Secondly, you suggested the paragraph breaks WP:BLP, but reading Dojo Cat#Personal life, Lil Nas X#Coming Out, and Miley Cyrus#Sexuality and gender, I don't see how my paragraph differs in any way. You cited WP:NOTGOSSIP, but again, my paragraph doesn't differ from the likes of Miley Cyrus#Sexuality and gender, which is also a GA rated article.
Finally, you object to the sourcing of the opening sentence, but I can provide an additional reliable source from CBC.ca which supports it. [1].
I am happy to remove Outsports and add CBC.ca if these would address your concerns; would this suffice?
And if not, could you please offer suggestions to how your concerns could be reasonably met.
Regards, CeltBrowne ( talk) 10:44, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
everything [you've] written will still stand on [Yahoo! and 'WON'] alone, but given our past interactions, I'm not optimistic that anything I say could change that belief, so feel free to open a discussion on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard.

Time magazine reported", the phrasing
Outsports reported thator
Outsports suggested thatcould be used if necessary, which is the kind of language suggested in WP:BIASED. Outsports is a wing of Vox, which is considered a reliable source WP:RSPVOX. It's unfortunate that I didn't see that before the first reply.
The CBC says Omega is involved in "LGBT-friendly storylines". There's nothing in that source that outlines any speculation or his sexuality itself.
but the WOR clip is an analysis of the documentary on Omega and not factual reporting
implied romantic relationship between Omega/Ibushi.
The Jurassic Park comparison is absurd because you could find hundreds of sources–print and online–to support a claim about its exploration of human and dinosaur relationship dynamics. The same can't be said about an implied romantic relationship between Omega/Ibushi.

As fans, yes, we may have picked up hints from consuming the products that Omega's in-universe character has exuded LGBT undertones, but to note how that relates to his actual sexual orientation without sufficient sourcing is just unacceptable. This article does not get to circumvent the BLP policy just because it's a pro wrestling article. You can't convince me otherwise. KyleJoan talk 16:28, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
the author of the 'Mel' magazine says Omega is openly bisexual; that disqualifies these articles right away. However, I have three sources here where all three authors state that Omega is "openly bisexual":
"major component" is according to Dave Meltzer only, so questionable whether due
"A major component of the 2019 documentary Omega Man: A Wrestling Love Story was the implied romantic relationship between Omega and Kota Ibushi".
CeltBrowne ( talk) 12:36, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
If this ambiguity is presented in wrestling storylines or as part of his wrestling persona, then it should be mentioned there
JAYME POISSON: Yeah. And maybe I wonder if one example of what you're talking about here is a story that unfolded over a decade, right, about you and your tag team partner, Kota Ibushi. Yeah. And you called yourselves The Golden Lovers, and you were two men who said you loved each other and you. You embraced and you kissed. And I'll note, I don't think you're ever explicit about your sexuality, but, you know, talk to me a little bit more about how you've tried to deal with these topics better than wrestling has in the past
KENNY OMEGA: ...I wanted to tell a different kind of story, and I wanted to investigate something that was was very personal to a lot of people, personal to me, even though I was really opening myself to the world. I felt that if I had done it in that fashion, that I could be true to myself and tell something that was very respectful rather than something that would be laughed at. I wanted to tell a story that whether you you're straight, whether you're gay, whether you were X, Y, or Z didn't matter. You could look at this story and you could appreciate the love between two individuals, the hardships of of being in a competitive business, struggling together, struggling apart. The power that they have when they're are then focused together as a team, how much more you can accomplish. There's so many messages within. And I say again, yes, at its core you could look at it as as a gay wrestling story, which which would be kind of was. [a] But I like to look at it more as as a love story. And I don't want it to be defined necessarily by the fact that it was, you know, two male leads that could have been two females, it could have been a male and a female, it could have been anything. I I'm I'm a I'm an animal lover. I feel like I would love to tell this story, you know, with that as a central focus as well. Yeah, I love that that a person has for his pet or another another animal like these, these things you don't really see in wrestling and you think like, okay, how would that work? Well, at one time, people in wrestling or fans of wrestling would be like, okay, well, how would a gay wrestling storyline work at all? It wouldn't. But there was a time when you would say that you'd be crazy to try it.
The Ibushi and Omega characters, while not explicitly mentioning their sexuality, have implied a relationship throughout their run.
The Golden☆Lovers are believed by many to be in a romantic relationship with each other. While this has never explicitly been confirmed, Omega is openly queer. Many people will point to myriad [on-screen] indications that Omega and Ibushi are in love with each other, even if they’ve yet to openly address this in public. Playing into these rumors, [on-screen] Cody and his wife Brandi attempted to play mind games with Omega and Ibushi. First Cody would kiss Ibushi during a match in Japan. Then Brandi would force herself on Omega during ROH’s 16th Anniversary show. Cody claims that any talk of an Omega-Ibushi relationship is just a publicity stunt. Omega claims that 16th Anniversary wasn’t the first time he and Brandi kissed and probably wouldn’t be the last. This accusation left Cody seething.
Talk about a potentially huge swerve. While it's not fully clear this is the direction things are headed (although the ambiguous tease certainly seemed on purpose), WWE could be on its way to presenting its first same-sex relationship angle [storyline] with a tasteful undertone. Considering the successful precedent recently set in New Japan Pro-Wrestling with the Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi), it's about time, if so.
Over the course of his professional wrestling career, It has often been intimated on-screen that Omega and his "Golden Lovers" tag team partner Kota Ibushi have or have had a romantic relationship, particularly during their time together in DDT and NJPW.
