I have three films that I wrote and directed under a pen name. For career purposes and for another project I'm doing, I would like IMDB to use the pen name for these films, and not my real name. Is that possible?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4152156/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4166592/?ref_=nm_knf_i2
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5127356/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_2
At the very least can I have my name as writer/director taken down? I've tried to do it for one film in movie contributions, but it wont' let me.

In movie posters, trailers and the movie itself, my pen name, Juan Moctezuma is used.

Ed, please don't give false advice. It's "one name page only" for each person. If there are two (or more), they should be merged.
Alaric can basically "choose" his primary name, whether it's his real name or the artistic name. But they need to be on the same name page (the other with "as..." attribute).

There are some exceptions to this rule, mainly collective pseudonyms. Examples include Pavel Bagryak (is in fact six people), AAV Creative Unit, Alan Smithee.
We make an exception to the rule if we have reason to believe someone will be using a different name for all future credits.
Eboy, that is from the help topic page.
Please refrain from stating incorrect interpretation on your part.
Thanks
Cheers

Ed, the exception you're quoting relates only to the rule that a person's primary name is usually the one with the most credits.
The bullet points in this guide make this clearer. Note the last bullet point in particular:

Thanks, whoever you are a sockpuppet for.
In case you did not notice, a Champion, Nikolay Yerioman gave the same reply.
So, stop harassing
If you reply without real constructive input, you know the next step.
