The result of the move request was: Dan Levy (producer) moved to Dan Levy (Canadian actor) and Dan Levy moved to Dan Levy (American comedian). The base name "Dan Levy" will redirect to Daniel Levy. — Amakuru ( talk) 14:16, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
– While I don't disagree in principle that it was time to consider moving this from the original "Dan Levy (TV personality)", I don't believe "producer" was the right choice of new disambiguator: at this point, his primary notability claim is not that he was a producer of Schitt's Creek, it's that he was an actor who appeared in the show. We don't move articles to new titles "to reflect their career evolution" every time the subject adds a new role to his résumé (e.g. we don't move a person from "politician" to "lawyer" just because they've quit politics and gone back into law, or from "musician" to "writer" the moment they've also written a book) — we use the person's primary notability claim as their disambiguator, and then leave it there unless very maybe one of those job titles manages to substantively outnotable it in the future. At this point, Levy's strongest notability claim is as an actor, not as a producer — so he should be dabbed as actor, and this should be reconsidered in the future only if and when a credible case can be made that his production work has become more notable than his acting.

Hi fellow Wikipedia editors,
I am writing to determine if there is perhaps an error in the Dan Levy infobox with regard to the "Years Active" section. The infobox currently states that Levy's career has been active since 2000, but I can find no coroborating evidence of that date. His IMDb page and every other article I've seen about the start of his career (many linked in his Wiki page's references section) indicate that his career began in 2006 with the launch of MTV Live.
Therefore, I've been contemplating changing the start date for "Years active" to 2006, but I'm wondering if perhaps I missed something that justifies the current 2000 career start date listed.
Any sources or thoughts on the career start date?
Thank you.

Dan Levy (Canadian actor) → Dan Levy (actor) – more concise title, there are no other actors MB 03:32, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello! The current photo on Levy's article is blurry and there are better photos of him out there. Could we replace it with a higher quality one?
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. People have good faith, reasoned disagreement over whether this individual is primary in terms of long-term significance. ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 20:14, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
Dan Levy (Canadian actor) → Dan Levy – I think it's time we recognize that the Canadian actor is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. He has amassed an average of over 23,000 page views per day over 2020 to date, while the comedian has less than 1,000 and the journalist has 2. -- Tavix ( talk) 19:37, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

@ 55eo55: Hi there, re: this edit, can you please explain what you mean by "four disciplines"? While I get that he won for acting, directing and writing, what is the fourth "discipline"? The fourth award I see is a general award for the show, which doesn't seem like a "discipline" in the way that knowing how to act/write/direct would be disciplines.
