Untitled[edit]

I read the bit about W10 LDN on Teletext, so if anyone has a link to confirm it it would be appriciated. Digifiend 09:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ashley Cole on Dr Who - brilliant! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.173.254.85 (talk) 15:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.239.116 (talk) 13:49, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He was in the music video 'Invaders Must Die (song)' (Invaders Must Die) of The Prodigy. Should we mention that? The song mentions Noel here: Invaders_Must_Die_(song)#Video --83.101.35.8 (talk) 14:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Family[edit]

I found this article from 2009. It states that he is (was?) married to a woman named Iris and they have a son, Samuel. Are they still together? Are there any more children? JenniferRSong (talk) 03:09, 27 June 2013 (UTC) http://www.beautyandthedirt.com/entertainment/gossip/noel-clarke/[reply]

capitalization[edit]

when discussing such things as what Clarke studied, do we want that to be capitalized; ie, now, it say he "studied Media", whereas in my opinion, this should be lowercase. --RichardMills65 (talk) 03:59, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing is required[edit]

To the rotating series of IPs that keep adding categories about Clarke's ancestry please read WP:BLP and note that WP:RSed info must be in the article that supports the cat. WP:CATDEF should also be read. MarnetteD|Talk 19:04, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 1 May 2021[edit]

I think the use of private investigators by Clarke should be in this article. See https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/apr/29/actor-noel-clarke-accused-of-groping-harassment-and-bullying-by-20-women 86.135.135.219 (talk) 10:30, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number of children[edit]

The article had been changed to an earlier version to say that Clarke has three, rather than four, children but he does have four children now: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/noel-clarke-welcomes-baby-after-27313467 I'm about to update the relevant bit in the Personal life section as well, with the above reference.

Cybersub (talk) 00:28, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Daily Star is not a reliable source. Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:09, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? Cybersub (talk) 21:06, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This particular report isn't fabricated. Clarke definitely has four children. He's tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/NoelClarke/status/1554917111801298944 Cybersub (talk) 21:44, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I linked to the discussion in my post which explains the exact reason why. The Star has been deprecated and should not be used as a source anywhere on Wikipedia. Clarke's verified Twitter account would actually be a better source. Pawnkingthree (talk) 00:24, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I'll change it. Cybersub (talk) 15:45, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ricky Smith[edit]

His role on Doctor Who is listed in a table as both Ricky Smith and Mickey Smith. Is this correct? 174.160.242.40 (talk) 07:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's correct. Mickey Smith was Rose Tyler's boyfriend in this universe and Ricky Smith was Mickey's doppelgänger who led a resistance group in a parallel universe, with Noel Clarke portraying both Mickey and Ricky. Cybersub (talk) 18:53, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
