User talk:Noaofficial

October 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Noa, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Noaofficial", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:36, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to Noa appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Jackmcbarn (talk) Hi. The subject I added to noa being the NOA (rapper) is a notable entry that should qualify for a stand alone article according to wikipedia's notability guideline. The guidelines are as follows: - "Significant coverage". MY article addresses the topic directly and no original research is needed to extract the content. - "Reliable". My sources encompass published works in a variety of forms and media. - "Sources"[2]. My sources provide the most objective evidence of notability for the artist in question and are not only online publications but include newspaper and magazine blog and articles from the Daily Telegraph a serious and resourceful Australian daily newspaper. - "Independent of the subject". I am not the owner entity or affiliated with the subject although this is what my username suggests. I have requested to change and alter my username. - "Presumed". The artist has significant coverage in reliable sources and thus due to the everchanging and fast paced music industry should have a stand alone article as there are an abundance of articles being printed (see reference dates) as the year goes on so it is clear more additions to this artist will be further resourced as time goes by, thus the public must and should have access to the information on the online encyclopaedia

Nomination of NOA (rapper) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article NOA (rapper) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/NOA (rapper) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  01:47, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Orange Mike Thanks Orange Mike, On the article mentioned I have provided evidence and supported references. If the article is unbiased and factual (which it is) and about a topic in Australia that is relevant, it should have its own stand alone page. Other artists articles with similar profiles are cleared on your encyclopaedia and thus this one should be also. It is not an autobiography, if it was references would not be included and it would be a personal recount with emotions. It is unfair to disallow this article on doubts when sufficient evidence has been proven. I hope if there are any issues the team at wikipedia can edit and correct the article rather than delete it.

 * If this is not an autobiography, why is your account called "Noaofficial"? -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  15:03, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Orange Mike I was asked this question on the talk page already. I wanted to be the official editor of the noa wikipedia page. I am a huge fan of his but realised that not one person is an editor, more than one is so I am trying to also change my username so there is no conflict. The article still stands as factual with evidence. Noaofficial (talk) 15:06, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You need to make that change request at Wikipedia:Changing username. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  15:24, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Orange Mike will do! As for the article the references are sufficient I feel. Noaofficial (talk) 15:25, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Rename request
Hi, Noaofficial, you seem to be having trouble filing a rename request. Both requests you filed were malformed. You must make sure you're logged into Noaofficial account before attempting to file a rename request. Then, you must follow the instructions carefully at Changing Username and make sure you file the request properly, as it may be removed or overlooked if malformed.
