Talk:Ninja (British rapper)

message: Does anyone know where Ninja grew up with a citation provided.  I think it is London, but as a "Fair Witness" I cannot say that I can provide a citation substantiating that.  Until someone does I am going to revert the changes that 76.168.252.66  made.

thread_title: Ninja is from London

message: I am reverting the changes that 76.168.252.66  made.  The citation says that Ninja's mother "trained doctors."  It does not say that Ninja's mother is a doctor herself but that she "trained doctors."  She could be a university professor.

thread_title: Real name?

message: Ninja's real name is Nkechi Ka Egenamba.Time Magazine.  "All Systems are Go!" by Hugh Porter.  October 13, 2005 MTV. "The Go! Team | Lyrics | Huddle Formation"  September 13, 2004.  However I have also found an alternate spelling for her first name - Nkeithi that was used in a petition by the "Music First Coalition." Nkechi is short for Nkechinyere, and means "what God has given" or "gift of God" in Igbo, the language of the Igbo people of Nigeria, an ethnic group in West Africa, numbering in the tens of millions.Behind the Name.  "Nkechinyere" Ninja's father is Nigerian and and her mother is half-Egyptian, half-Nigerian.Erie Times News.  "Go! Team's Ninja fights to be heard" by Len Righi.  November 4, 2007.

message: I have an approximate age.  Ninja was 23 in 2005 according to an article published in London Diaries.  Does anyone have a birthday and year of birth? Reservoirhill (talk) 02:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Does Anyone have a Birthday and Year of Birth for Ninja?

message: A lot of this should be merged to the The Go! Team, which is much shorter. And a lot should be snipped as it currently reads like an exhaustive and exhausting compendium of everything Ninja has ever said in an interview, rather than an encyclopedia article.

replies: text: Agreed. The vast majority of it is an extensive summary and set of quotes from a handful of sources, which is inappropriate. I'm trimming much. --ZimZalaBim talk 04:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree, I see no reason to merge, Ninja is notable on her own, just because that is her band does not mean you should merge just for the sake of it. And I guess since it has been 4 months her page does not read full of interviews or quotes, and it is well cited--Sugarcubez (talk) 10:15, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
