Removal of Producers Mark (p.g.a.)

edit

This is to further explain my removal of the "Producers Mark" (p.g.a.) from the lede paragraph of this article (added by an IP editor in 2014), even though the Mark has appeared by Del Vecho's name on several of the films he has produced (most recently Frozen 2). From Producers Guild of America#The Producers Mark (p.g.a.): "Unlike other post-nominal letters that appear in motion picture credits (e.g., A.C.E., C.S.A.), the "Producers Mark" does not indicate membership in the Producers Guild. Rather, it certifies that the credited producer performed a major portion of the producing duties on a motion picture. The Mark is licensed for use in motion picture credits on a film-by-film basis. A producer's having received the Mark on a prior film has no impact on the decision to certify a current or future credit with the "Producers Mark"." Thus, it is inappropriate to append the Producers Mark to Del Vecho's (or anyone else's) name outside the context of the specific film for which it was granted. For example, adding the Producers Mark after Del Vecho's name in Wikipedia infoboxes for films where he earned it would be appropriate under Producers Guild rules if Wikipedia rules were to allow it (unlikely but not impossible); but not here as it's not personal to him. --RBBrittain (talk) 14:19, 24 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
