At most major music platforms, the process of claiming our artist page is clear and straightforward. Therefore, in this article we give only the links to the relevant platforms. Signing up and registering with them is otherwise a peace of cake.
Subsequently claiming and correcting tracks that were not correctly linked to our artist page can sometimes be more cumbersome.
Below is a summary of personal experiences in claiming artist pages for nOzart and having track links corrected.

SoundCloud
To report tracks on a wrong SoundCloud account you can fill out and submit the https://forms.gle/3dQBDV2U6KKKpEw2A which will automatically redirect to a form on Google Docs SoundCloud Profile Issue Form to let SoundCloud know the details of the issue.
Often the account in question is an auto-generated account made by SoundCloud on behalf of the delivering rightsholder, for example Amp Suite Limited. SoundCloud does this when they are sent content from a label or distributor via the supply feed but their system is unable to find the correct account to map the content to.
Formally it takes SoundCloud usually 10-15 days to harmonise the profiles but in my case the already replied and solved the issue within one business day. This means SoundCloud would move the tracks from the auto-generated profile onto your manual ditto and then delete the auto-generated version.
If you would like to request that these tracks be removed from the platform altogether, that’s not something SoundCloud can help with. In this instance, you'll need to get in touch with Amp Suite Limited (via your label if needs be) and get them to send SoundCloud a takedown request for the content.

Since Tidal FREE is only available for music fans in the United States I had to register for the 30-day free trial of the Tidal Individual plan to search nOzart's artist page on Tidal.
Only in this way could I then pass in the form the correct link to claim the existing artist page.

Immediately after that, I cancelled the subscription and waited for response from Tidal support.
