Deprodding of Dan Trotta

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Dan Trotta, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, proposed deletion is disallowed on articles that have previously been de-prodded, even by the page's creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{proposed deletion}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

- GeoSwan created this page after an argument we had online. I asked him to take down an image of me and it got ugly. I just want to have control over my own page (which I don't want up at all, frankly). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imissdisco (talk • contribs)

Hey can you give me a hand? Someone keeps reuploading my photo every time I edit it Imissdisco (talk) 20:14, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Dan Trotta, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove all content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to Dan Trotta. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing. Belwine (talk) 21:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m trying to remove/replace the photo and correct the incorrect info Imissdisco (talk) 21:19, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Imissdisco. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Dan Trotta, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am Dam Trotta. The page is about me, and contains incorrect information amd an erroneous photo Imissdisco (talk) 20:19, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is your problem with the photograph? Is it that it is not you or is it just that it is unflattering? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm happy to replace it with another one, but I'm not sure how. It's from a group photo and was erroneously credited to me

Hi. Please the WP:COIEDIT guidelines and propose changes on the article's talk page (by using the {{request edit}} template), or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard. M.Bitton (talk) 21:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you ignoring my advice? M.Bitton (talk) 21:19, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All I want is to remove some incorrect info and swap photos. This is a page about me and I want it to be accurate. I can’t figure out what you’re suggesting. I’m unable to post anything on the talk page. This is infuriating, I don’t even want this info up Imissdisco (talk) 21:21, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Imissdisco, you can post on the talk page. Unreferenced controversial information shouldn't be on the article per WP:BLP, if that is an issue. --Belwine (talk) 21:23, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that the semi-protected page at User:Imissdisco be created. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Information to be added or removed: "Trotta taught Business Communication at London, Ontario's Fanshawe College, after he earned a BA in Creative Writing from Concordia University, while working on his own writing in his spare time.[1]

During a 2017 interview with TV Eh? Trotta described offering to volunteer at the National Screen Institute, to gain some experience with the process of writing for television of film, only to have his offer declined.[2][3] He was told they could not employ him as a volunteer, but they could pay him to help with a backlog of scripts that needed to be read, and a synopsis written. Trotta said it was staff at the NSI encouraged him to apply for a position at the Canadian Film Centre. The CFC only accepts a half-dozen or so students per year, and he was lucky enough to be accepted the year Denis McGrath was the instructor.

Trotta wrote a short film, The High Note, in 2012, and followed this up with work on the police drama Blood and Water, in 2016, and joining the writing staff of the long-running series, Murdoch Mysteries, in 2017.[4] Trotta wrote 17 of the series 32 episodes, and is credited as co-creator. He is credited as writer on 9 episodes of Murdoch Mysteries, and as a producer on 40 episodes."

Explanation of issue: To be removed. Unclear and erroneous in parts. The text conflates and inaccurately repurposes text from articles
References supporting change: URL's are already on wiki page.

In addition, please remove photo.

You really are not doing yourself a favour by not following the "how to" section of Template:Request edit. It clearly states "Go to the article's Talk page and click the New section tab, etc." M.Bitton (talk) 22:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was a co producer on Murdoch Mysteries, and didn't write 17 episodes of Blood and Water. This is so poorly written)
