In IMDB-pro I can't delete a quote made by somebody else. There is no option to delete a quote. When I switch to regular user I also cannot delete a quote? How do I request a quote deletion from my own page?

On which page is the "quote" listed?
I see an Andy de Maertelaere listed, but there is nothing in the "Personal Quotes" section of the page.

On the bio page, click the "Edit page" button.
Choose "Correct/Delete" in the menu on the "Real Life Quotes" line.
Click the "Continue" button.
The quotation will then be displayed under "Real Life Quotes".
In the menu under "Action", choose "Delete".
Click the "Check these updates" button.
Enter an explanation (required) in the box below the quote.
Click the "Re-check these updates" button.
The quote and explanation should then be surrounded by a
green-colored background, indicating that the information is
ready to submit. To finish, click the "Submit these updates" button.

Thank you for the info. When I first tried this the quote was not visible on the edit page. Only hours later it finally appeared on the page. Unfortunately there already have been more things added that could now be considered cyber bullying. I thought these thing get checked by IMDb before adding. Now I'll have to wait for hours again before I can let it be deleted. Not happy.

If you see multiple suspicious entries that appear to be inaccurate or possibly malicious, you may want to mention that in your explanatory notes with your next deletion request. You can also ask IMDb to consider "locking" the page to prevent further edits for some period of time.

Posting specifics here can help to. Staff monitors this board. It's helpful to be clear about which pages you're talking about and to avoid saying "my page" while displaying a different name here. The first thing anyone will do when you post is to go try and see the problem...it can be misleading if you're giving a different name and no indication of where the page with the problem is.
Are the items accurate, but you just choose not to include them, or are they inaccurate?
Having, or not having, IMDbPro does not influence submissions to add or correct data in any way, by the way. It allows you to add photos, resume and contact information but other than that, the process is the same whether you have Pro or not.

Thank you for your reply.
I added the name in my second comment. Just forgot to add it as first as I only wanted to know why added information was not vissible on the edit page for me to be able to delete it. On the pro page my son's name is on, but when I switch here it switches to my name and I didn't notice it at first.
The problem is that the content is now turning into cyber bullying and now a third new entry now needs to be removed asap. Although the new content is now live, I can't request to delete it as yet again it does not show up on the edit page. (It seems to take a while before it does)
This was now added: "Jarod was a finalist in a Belgian competition for "most sorrowful" movie poster in 2015."
This is inaccurate as there is no such thing as a most sorrowful movie poster competition (I thought IMDb looks at entries before adding them).
I use my son"s IMDb page, sending the link to castings. Can't have stuff like this on it.
I wish there is a way to block cyber bullies from adding items to other people pages to intentionally hurt them.
Thank you for your time

... I wish there is a way to block cyber bullies from adding items ....As I suggested, you can ask IMDb to consider "locking" the page.
If IMDb agrees to do so, then no further edits will be allowed on the page
(for as long as IMDb keeps it locked).

Once data shows up on the default display page, it takes a while before it shows up in the Update system. There is a lag of usually 36 - 48 hours. Once the changes have settled in across the system you should be able to submit an update.
This lag occurs because IMDb is implementing a faster update system, but the Update system (and some other parts) are still on the older, slower system. They are working on moving everything to the new system, but since the Update system is critical, and they would rather be slow and right than quick and losing data.

I need to be able to update. ...Of course. When I suggested asking IMDb to "lock the page", I should have been more specific. I actually meant to suggest that you could request a specific lock on only the biographical data (which includes the quotes).
(I assume IMDb should have that capability.) If, after removal of the inaccurate and offending data, IMDb can lock the biographical data, but leave the filmography open for edits, thus you'll still be able to add new titles to the filmography.
