Kim Donghyuck or Lee Donghyuck?

There seems to be an ongoing edit war regarding Haechan's birth name, is there a reliable source that establishes whether his surname is Kim or Lee? Yannaynay (talk) 22:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

I added a source for Lee. The news article says he revealed this on V app. Random86 (talk) 00:00, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

I would like to request that you add the ages of every member of NCT. This is a crucial part of a groups wikipedia page as a lot of new fans want to know how old they are. You can find their ages on this website. http://smboysgeneration.com/category/member-profiles-and-facts/

Taeil Official Member Of NCT U

On the official website here he is clearly listed as a member.He's just only singing in one song; that is the only difference between him and the other members. SM would NOT list an unoffial member (such as Kun) in the profile. Please edit the page so that it will be accurate. Ask around and Google it too.It was revealed officially by SM as an NCT U member.

Seperate Articles

With NCT successfully debuting as a full group and charting extremely high, would you say now it's time for the sub-units (NCT 127 and NCT Dream at least,) to get their own articles? They're very notable enough on their own.-NCT America (talk) 05:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Well, if no one says anything before tomorrow, I'mma assume it's okay.-NCT America (talk) 16:25, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello,

Before making any claims (Rotational vs. Fixed, Mark "graduating" from NCT Dream, etc.), can you please SOURCE your claims using a Reliable Source? Thank you!

Semi-protected edit request on 18 October 2018

The wording in the following sentence is confusing, and the verb tenses used are incompatible, thus rendering the grammar incorrect:

"On May 2, 2018, NCT has become the top emerging musical act in the U.S. and marked the first time that a K-Pop act has led the list, reported by Billboard."

Additionally, the date listed on the Wikipedia page (May 2, 2018) is different from the one listed in the source (May 5, 2018). Please change the quoted sentence to:

"On May 5, 2018, NCT topped Billboard's Emerging Artists chart, marking the first time that a K-Pop act led the list." Ruju24 (talk) 04:11, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Renjun and Chenle

People are continuously ignoring the note at the bottom of "lineup" and keep adding Renjun and Chenle to China, despite me stating multiple times they aren't part of the lineup. Is there any other way to prevent them from doing so?-K-popguardian (talk) 01:56, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

NCT China

Hello I’m just wondering here, i know the leaked video was just showing some of them and ChenLe & RenJun was not there but could anyone edit that ChenLe and RenJun will still be joining please because they dyed their hair recently (maybe for a com back hmm).. Heheh thank you💞 Nctattack (talk) 09:36, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Until there's confirmation, no. Besides, they haven't even graduated yet. This could just be another Dream comeback for all we know.-K-popguardian (talk) 17:26, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

On the topic of NCT CHINA/Vision; should we even have a members list for NCT China yet? The picture was only a rumored line up that was never confirmed by SM and Xiao Jun Hendery and YangYang are not yet official NCT members according to SM's official site. as of Dec. 7, 2018. This also brings up the question of whether all male sm rookies should be immediately considered NCT of if we must wait for them to be officially announced as NCT members. I feel like it makes sense to go the second route because as we've seen in the past not every male sm rookie will debut as NCT (Hansol for example). I also feel as if this wikipedia page should not change with every rumor even if they seem very likly to be true and rely only on confirmed information so that people don't get misinformed.-Callmeashy (talk) 02:11, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Complete article revision

NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV all are subunits with their own pages now. Yet a vast amount of their info are on the main group page. is that really still necessary with all these articles that already exist? Other than EXO, no other article maps out all their subunit's activities on the main page. Should there be a mass cleanup?-K-popguardian (talk) 19:36, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. There is no significant difference from these subunits that make them distinct from NCT (band), I think the relevant content can be merged. Evaders99 (talk) 19:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

WayV

I would like to point out that neither the group nor SM have officially confirmed that WayV are part of NCT's system. I don't think Wikipedia should add them based on fan speculations and media assumptions. It doesn't matter what excuses you want to use but Wikipedia works with reliable sources so until they are offcially introduced as part of NCT we shouldn't include them.--2A02:8108:1300:2D60:973:CAA4:E10A:3124 (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

SM referred to them as NCT China for a vast majority of last year, and all members are a part of NCT. However, they are part of Label V, which is seperate from SM, and therefore, all promotions are handled by Label V and not SM, so of course they are not part of any SM activities. Another thing worth noting is 2 of the 3 songs in the EP are by NCT 127. If this was not previously announced, I would understand. But since July last year, SM has teased them as NCT China.-K-popguardian (talk) 20:49, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Please show me where exactly SM has announced these members, this unit called Way V as part of NCT? I'm not talking about the rumors and speculations about NCT China. SM also has teased NCT China in 2016 but some of the current Way V members weren't even trainees back then or had just joined so again it doesn't matter who teased what. This is Wikipedia and not a fan forum. I would like to hear the opinion of an admin.--2A02:8108:1840:1474:DC80:BF64:FBDA:3181 (talk) 23:43, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Also, notice that they say "long-awaited" even though this is the first introduction of WayV. And these "fan sources" being used on NCT and WayV's page are ALL reliable sources on Wikipedia's list, all saying that WayV is NCT. And stop talking like an admin, you come across as demanding and rude.-K-popguardian (talk) 03:49, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Literally NONE of these sources confirms that WayV is part of NCT. Neither SM nor NCT have yet to mention that these two groups are part of NCT's system and until then they shouldn't be mentioned here.This is a Wikipedia article, not Wikia or some kind of fansite. There is no use to talk to you, I'll contact an admin myself.--2A02:8108:1840:1474:5978:B972:3F4A:1CED (talk) 18:45, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Proposed page move

To editor Seventyfiveyears: Hi, and thank you for your edits! I have removed the PROD deletion requests from the two redirects, Neo Culture Technology and Neo Culture Tech, because the correct way to propose a page move is to open a move request here on this talk page. "NCT" appears to be the common name of this group, so other editors should be allowed to give their opinions about a page move. Let me know if you need help with this. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 15:57, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I will try the one you suggested tomorrow. And then hopefully that one should work good enough. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 02:18, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I tried to open a move request, but it was reverted. Someone who reverted the request noted that it should be filed properly, but what does it mean to file properly? Also, I may be having trouble of opening a move request. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 11:51, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

In this case I think the editor meant that you should open a requested move on this talk page. The procedure to open a move request can be found at WP:RM#CM. Let me know if you need more help, I'm glad to do it. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 12:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I filed the request properly. Go to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests#Uncontroversial technical requests to see why I needed to move NCT (group) to Neo Culture Technology. Thank you, 18:20 at 15 July 2020 Seventyfiveyears

You do not have to go to the page I gave out earlier anymore. The request was already accepted by another user. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 02:10, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

@Seventyfiveyears: Just to clarify a few things, I'm a page mover, not an administrator. Also, although I initially moved the page per your WP:RMTR request, I reversed that page move shortly afterwards, after noticing this thread in the talk page while doing my post-move cleanup and realizing that it really should have had a proper WP:RM discussion, which I then started as a contested technical request. OhKayeSierra (talk) 02:24, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I didn’t know that. Thanks for telling me though. Seventyfiveyears at 08:02, 16 July 2020

Requested move 16 July 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

NCT U

Should we really have NCT U members credited in the table and timeline? The concept of NCT U is that any member can be in the lineup as long as they fit the concept. As it stands a majority of the NCT members shown in the chart are in NCT U, and even then they can be rotated in and out for other members. For all we know, every member could eventually be in NCT U. - K-popguardian (talk) 19:40, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

The table I think is fine, as while maybe the categorization will become pointless at some point in the future, if all the members participate in it and thus there is no need to distinguish who has and hasn't been a member, that is not the case now. Just because there is potential for every member to be in the sub-unit, it doesn't mean they will, and we can't predict if or when it will happen, so it's fine to distinguish the membership of the sub-unit for now. I think the timeline as it is isn't particularly useful for having NCT U on it, because it shows members as if they are continuously in the sub-unit once they join, which isn't how it works. I think that NCT U membership could be eliminated from the timeline, but I think it could be more useful to change the formatting of the NCT U membership, to be the same way that Mark's membership in NCT Dream is handled, which is to show when they joined, departed, joined again, and so on, based on the sub-unit's membership for their releases. Nangears (talk) 21:24, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Well SM released more info on the NCT U lineups on the album. Not even half of them are revealed yet, and so far, only 3 of the 23 NCT members aren't in NCT U. The 3 members in question, Jaemin, Jisung, and Ten, have all been confirmed to be performing on the title track of NCT 2020 Resonance Pt. 2 as part of NCT U. So yes, it looks like for NCT 2020, all 23 members will be part of NCT U for once. - K-popguardian (talk) 01:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Also, Ten should already be marked in the table, as he was a member for its initial formation. Jaemin has also performed as part of NCT U, although not for an official track release, but it really just leaves Jisung as the only member who has not. Is it confirmed they will release the title track as NCT U? For their previous project, "Black on Black" was released under the group name NCT 2018, with most of the other songs on the album being released under NCT U, has it been confirmed they won't do the same for the title track for NCT 2020? It is likely that he will appear in some NCT U formation, but I don't think there is confirmation for that as of yet. Nangears (talk) 01:46, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm adding to my earlier comment to clarify my response to your proposal, since I earlier only responded about who are considered members up until now. I don't agree with your reasoning, as I think it plainly goes against WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL, but I am not opposed to removing the information on NCT U from either the table or the timeline, as I mentioned in my earlier comment. I think what would be most beneficial to clarifying the membership of NCT U would be to make a table or timeline specific to NCT U under the Members section, and show its change in membership by track release. Especially as NCT U redirects to this page, I think clarifying it's membership here would be worthwhile. Nangears (talk) 02:53, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

The photo must be changed to one with the 23 members on it and names must be added as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackIsTheNewLove (talk • contribs) 22:49, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Chart

There needs to be a timeline chart on the page, NCT is going to keep growing with more members and more units, Chris Lee literally mentioned they're preparing for the goal of at least 1 unit based in each continent, and its going to be harder to explain in words and tables as it continues to expand. - K-popguardian (talk) 05:16, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Why though? They almost always seem to create a new group name for a lineup of members. Other than the additions to NCT U, is there really confusion on which group has which members? They don't seem to promote all at the same time. There isn't a full switch of different members every week. The lineup changes expressed in prose seems to be rather fine. I find the whole timeline such a horrible mess - it's impossible to read and get anything relevant from it. Evaders99 (talk) 05:31, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

There comes a point where a timeline just gets out of hand, and in my opinion we're past that point. I have near perfect vision, I'm not colourblind, and even I am struggling to understand that mess of a timeline and see the individual colours clearly. There doesn't need to be a timeline, writing in prose which members are in each unit would be a lot easier to understand than a bunch of bars that merge together. Alex (talk) 13:50, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I personally see the value in having a timeline, seeing when members joined and which units they are in. However, due to 1) red-green colourblindness issues and 2) every member of NCT being in NCT U, perhaps removing the NCT U bar from the timeline is a good compromise? 41matt14 (talk) 16:01, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

K-popguardian is now blocked for edit warring, and what can I say--K-popguardian, fighting over something that you seem to know nothing about is just not a smart thing. I removed the table mainly because it so blatantly violates our accessibility guidelines, and some people are experts on that--including RexxS, whom I typically turn to for advice in these matters. Personally I think they're pretty useless; the argument that "oh they're getting new members" is an argument to update the article, not to add or restore a timeline. The problem with them is not just the colors, and in this case that was just really unthinking and uncaring, it's the whole graphics of them, with the many colors and the thin lines and, sometimes, the vertical lines to indicate when some album was recorded, and all that. The more you add, the more complex they get, and something that was meant to aid the readers becomes, in fact, a distraction--and one that doesn't even fit on the screen of a mobile device. Plus, it takes a degree in coding to edit them--they're worse than tables. So that's what, four? good reasons NOT to have them/not to have one in this article.

I want to edit a photo for this page NCTzen16 (talk) 11:11, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

The reason why I want to edit a photo is because the current photo used for this page is no longer accurate because there has been more members added to NCT since this photo was taken so I wanted update it. NCTzen16 (talk) 11:13, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

NCTzen16, is the photo you want to use already on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons (which is where we keep pictures here generally)? For a photo to be uploaded to Wikipedia, it has to be fair use; either in the public domain, or be permitted for use by the creator. Are you able to provide a link to the image you want to use?

Hello. I would like to request a small change in a photo for the NCT group as a whole. Quite a few people have asked before too for this.

I have found an image that can be used for this purpose, but I am not too sure whether we can freely use it. I have attached a link to the photo here. This is the thumbnail of the NCT 2020 YearParty video on the official NCT YouTube channel. This channel is managed mostly by their agency, if I'm not wrong, which is why I am still kind of wary with giving a go for the image.

Please do check on this and confirm whether we can use this image freely, or if we have to take special permissions for this purpose.

In contrast, "NCT" can also refer to some rather prominent and important topics with long-term significance, as noted on the NCT disambiguation page, such as the official name of Delhi (a place with a population of 18 million people), the oldest professional children's theatre company in the United States, tests taken by students in England, a roadworthiness test for Irish cars, and a school of thought in Christian theology. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:05, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Photo used of NCT

I feel like we should change the picture used as group photo to a recent one from NCT 2020. They still use the photo from NCT 2018, but in the mean time there have been added way more may members and the NCT2020 group photo is the most recent one with all of the members on it. I also think i represents their current image more. FridaRibbers (talk) 23:53, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

You are welcome to suggest one that satisfies Wikipedia's image use policy. Not every image available online is something Wikipedia can use. 00:00, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

At the beginning of the article, “boy band” should be changed to “boy group”. NCT is not a band, it is an idol group. “Band” usually refers to instrument-playing bands, who usually make rock music, for example Day6 or N.Flying. DonyDonut77 (talk) 04:15, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Boy band does not imply a instrument-playing band these days, per Wikipedia's own article that points to NCT, BTS, etc. So current usage is fine. Evaders99 (talk) 16:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Removing units comebacks from history section

I think the article should focus on NCT U and NCT as a whole. Adding comebacks from all units makes it unnecessary long and basically a copy-paste and collage of all the units' articles. Since it's a big edit, I wanted to ask if anyone thinks they should stay? Poirot09 (talk) 22:22, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I do kind of agree. The subunits already have their own pages, and recently we split the discography into multiple pages as well. I would say keep major debuts and such, as well as things like the future projects section that was just added, but specific comeback details and awards can remain on other pages. - K-popguardian (talk) 23:02, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
