Also, this sentence seems very wrong. If not impossible, world record in being very prolific:

Igor and his operational role during the coronavirus recession[edit]
Edits I made based on articles in the BBC, the New York Times, the Financial Post and others all covering the topic of Igor's role, in "fighting for Disney's life" were deleted because they were not related to Igor but to the Disney Company. Igor's role as Disney chair and CEO is why he has a Wikipedia article. A company is not a person in Wikipedia. The board's executive directors make the difficult and risky decisions that affect stockholders and employees alike. This is Igor's story, that is how the New York Times called it and that is what this article needs to include.Oceanflynn (talk) 17:15, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Company details and their specific response and handling of the crisis such a furloughs and such should be at the company's article. It is dealing with things relevant to Disney as a company. - Brojam (talk) 17:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I agree all this needs to be included in the article about the company. But it definitely needs to be included here. When the New York Times strongly states that Igor is fighting for Disney's life in its headlines, the story is about Igor. When BBC draws attention to his 2019 salary, while reporting on his role during the coronavus recession, it is about Igor. A company is not a person who can be held "responsible" or given praise. The board of executives are paid their hefty salaries because as individuals they are the ones given credit for success through their bonuses and good reputations and they are the ones taking the risks to their reputation for decisions they make.[1][2][3][4] This is a point of principle. Let us work this out on the talk page, requesting the viewpoints of other editors, if need be. We are all volunteers here.Oceanflynn (talk) 17:37, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Talking about Disney's performance and furloughed workers etc... that's all Disney-related content. Sure, Iger is the one on charge but besides mentioning his role change, that content doesn't belong here. It's overly detailed, giving it WP:UNDUEWEIGHT over other important stuff about his life. It's I-G-E-R, not I-G-O-R. It just bugs me when people names are misspelled like that. — Starforce13 21:38, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is the text deleted for being overly detailed. Two editors have agreed that this story will not be part of Iger's page.Oceanflynn (talk) 20:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
According to the BBC, by the end of his career with Disney when he retired after 15 years with the company, Disney was making "operating income of $1.4bn for its parks, experiences and products" in the last three months alone of 2019. In 2019, Igor had earned $47.5m as chairman and chief executive, making him, "one of highest paid executives in the entertainment sector."[4]
When Iger stepped down from CEO of the company on On February 25, 2020, he said that, "this is the optimal time to transition to a new CEO" with the "successful launch of Disney's direct-to-consumer businesses and the integration of Twenty-First Century Fox well underway."[5][6] However, by April 13, during the coronavirus pandemic, although Bob Chapek continued to serve as executive, Iger had "effectively returned to running the company..."[a]fter a few weeks of letting [Bob Chapek] take charge, Mr. Iger smoothly reasserted control", according to the New York Times.[7] According to the Times, Igor's "legacy will probably be defined in the unexpected sequel of one of the great American companies fighting for its life".[7]HBO's Richard Plepler said that Igor "personifies" the "example of leadership that has proved itself over an extended period of time" and that during the coronavirus crises, this "is a moment where people first and foremost are looking" for that kind of leadership.[7] According to a Financial Times April 20, 2020 report, during the coronavisus recession Iger gave up the rest of his $3 million salary for the rest of 2020.[2] The Financial Times reported that in order to save $500m a month during the pandemic, Disney stopped pay immediately on April 20 for about 100, 000 people representing about half of its workforce,[2][4] while continuing to provide full healthcare benefits to the furloughed employees.[2]
Per WP:BLP, this section as written on 04:02, February 3, 2021 should be deleted. It fails WP:BLPREMOVE, WP:BLPSPS, and the section appears to be written as an attack section. I am more than happy to get a admin involved if needed. "There's no need to remove an entire section if it doesn't seem neutral in certain parts, since it took me work and time" is not acceptable on Wikipedia. I've spent a lot of time on sections and even whole articles that get deleted. --Elisfkc (talk) 03:18, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Agreed. I was looking to rewrite the section but not much of it can be salvaged.-KH-1 (talk) 03:33, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. The changes suggested removing content that is well-cited or where sources exist.
Under Career remove reference to "Campus Probe" and change first sentence to read: "Iger began his media career in 1972 as the host of an Ithaca College television show." Unsure the name of the program is in fact accurate.
Add "America's Funniest Home Videos" as example of show Iger greenlit while at ABC [1]
In first sentence under section "The Walt Disney Company" it should read "Iger remained chairman until 1999" instead of "president." He joined The Walt Disney Company after the acquisition of Capital Cities/ABC as chairman of the ABC Group, not as president. [2]
Remove sentence "One of Iger's first major decisions as CEO was to reassign Disney's chief strategic officer, Peter Murphy, and disband the company's Strategic Planning division." Section is out of context in the greater conversation of career milestones.
Remove "In May 2016, Iger wrote in a Facebook post claiming that Disney has hired 11,000 new employees in the past decade at Disneyland, and 18,000 in the past decade. Iger specifically targeted Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders, asking him how much he has contributed to job growth." Section is out of context in the greater conversation of career milestones.
Change: "In September 2019, Iger released a memoir titled The Ride of a Lifetime which, in part, focuses on Iger's years-long efforts to open Shanghai Disneyland Park; overall, he traveled to China 40 times over 18 years for the project." To: "In September 2019, Iger released his New York Times Best Seller, The Ride of a Lifetime, which includes Iger's years-long efforts to open Shanghai Disneyland Park; he traveled to China 40 times over 18 years for the project." [3]
Remove: "In April 2020, however, Iger resumed operational duties of the company as executive chairman to help the company through the COVID-19 pandemic." Bob Chapek has been CEO of The Walt Disney Company since February 2020. [4]
Remove section: "Handling of sexual assault allegations against Disney executives" Section is out of context in the greater conversation of career milestones.
Facebook post - its referenced as per current source
The request is to remove these 3 things as they're out of context in the greater conversation given these are sourced, I don't see the grounds for removing them.
Then the final two parts about COVID and the allegations are no longer on the page.
@MaskedSinger: I trust your judgement, and agree with your reasoning above (although I haven't taken a close look at the request). If the proposer disagrees, they can open a new request. If there are no more changes to consider, can you close this request as "answered"? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 00:40, 5 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
