Removing trivia from page

I have trivia added to my page that I would like to have removed. I have submitted several tickets over the last year but have not seen the trivia removed.

I suppose it'd depend on whether it is true or not. IMDB are reluctant to remove correct data.

My advise is to submit a change rather than a delete. Change the trivia item to something related/nearly related that is true but less objectionable than what currently exists.

Looking into it there is only one piece of trivia:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2644344/bio?#trivia

I could quibble about the capitalisation, but there isn't much to tweak there. If it isn't true, the fix would be to add in your alma mater, if you don't have one then it is a bit trickier, but staff would have to take your word for it on here.

If you could explain exactly what the problem is we can perhaps provide more detailed advice.

It is a little frustrating that my college added this information without any consent on my part. This is a page where my hard earned career gets listed. It demeans all my hard work as being simply because I graduated from Full Sail.

That is only your interpretation - I just see it as an unconnected random fact.

As it is true it won't be deleted, so your best bet is to add a biography that puts this in context and, more importantly, tells the story that you want to tell. It'll also drown out that little factoid.
