As the subject of this article I have requested this phrase be deleted from the headline. It's irrelevant in terms of my career. This phrase has been removed by editors before, but another editor- clearly an ardent EastEnders fan has replaced it. As has been noted before, fan criticism isn't lead-worthy. At the same time, many of the source quotes don't actually support the agenda mentioned later in the article. Dominic Treadwell- Collins simply says it's sad when characters leave who you have created them- whereas the quote calls this a 'criticism'. Having this phrase in the opening paragraph gives it an importance that also suggests that I was asked because of this decision |

Quit or sacked
Was he sacked from EE or did he quit. Some sources say one, some say the other and some say both so which Is is. Aacfsftw (talk) 22:42, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- BBC News says his intention was always to leave at the end of 2017, but commitments with Camberwell Productions meant he had to leave early. Digital Spy is saying the same. I haven't read anything else - can you share some of the other sources? — anemoneprojectors 16:51, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
Character changes in lead
@Meena: I hope we can agree that the current sourcing does not in fact support that these decisions "defined O'Connor's career". ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 19:47, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- If I've done anything, the thing that has defined my career was a story about coercive control in The Archers- or perhaps bringing Terence Davies out of retirement. These cast changes at Eastenders were trivial and part and parcel of the ecology of soap opera. The editor who added this sentence cut the sentence about The Archers and deliberately added some details that s/he is clearly angry about. So it feels very personal to me and, I think, unjust. People reading Wikipedia want to read the facts, not skewed half-truths culled from Digital Spy. Robhaywood10 (talk) 01:00, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- Firstly, you need to stop editing your own article, and per WP:COMPROMISED, the account of your husband's that you are now using may be blocked. My advice would be to create your own account, disclose the COI, and not edit your page further. As for the lead, I think the criticism for your work on EE does not belong there considering you've done a lot of other work. Fan criticism isn't a lead-worthy addition in most cases considering it doesn't appeal to the wider audience, so I'd put the criticisms in the body of the article and leave it there. – Meena • 10:49, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there, I note that the super fan who keeps making these malign points about one incident at Eastenders years ago has once again posted the same story that had been removed from the headline of my biog. Is there anyway these posts can be removed and posts from this poster stopped? They clearly seem to have a very personal agenda about these characters. And don't seem able to move on. What can be done about it? Robhaywood10 (talk) 11:03, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Lead sentence
Per MOSBIO, we don't need "born" in the opening paragraph, labels are included only when needed for clarity. Thank you, Malerooster (talk) 00:18, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Fan criticism
During his tenure, O'Connor was responsible for killing off two of the show's most popular characters, sisters Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell, a decision which has been consistently criticised.
As the subject of this article I have requested this phrase be deleted from the headline. It's irrelevant in terms of my career. This phrase has been removed by editors before, but another editor- clearly an ardent EastEnders fan has replaced it. As has been noted before, fan criticism isn't lead-worthy. At the same time, many of the source quotes don't actually support the agenda mentioned later in the article. Dominic Treadwell- Collins simply says it's sad when characters leave who you have created them- whereas the quote calls this a 'criticism'. Having this phrase in the opening paragraph gives it an importance that also suggests that I was asked because of this decision when that is not true. Birkenhead01 (talk) 09:04, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
