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 (talkcontribs)

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]

Everything is explained here. M.Bitton (talk) 21:27, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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
