Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Inoiccinnac, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Your article
[edit]I'm not who started the article, so I don't know why you're approaching me about it.
But at any rate, if a person in the film industry has a valid notability claim that gets them over WP:CREATIVE, such as a Canadian Screen Award nomination or a Prix Iris nomination, then they're automatically fair game for anybody who's interested in the film industry to start an article about. They don't need your permission first, and we don't have to make it go away just because you don't want one — other than the fact that we write our article in text instead of just list form, it's really not any different than having a profile on IMDb (which I'm sure you don't have a problem with).
It doesn't make you pretentious, because you're not who started the article — it just makes you a person who's achieved something noteworthy which makes you a topic of interest to some people. It's true that not everybody who's ever gotten a CSA or Iris nomination actually has an article yet, but that's just because there are only a few people actually trying to do that work — people who have CSA or Iris nominations for their work in film rightly should have articles on here, because we're a reference source so having articles about people who have major film award nominations under their belt is part of our job. If your coworkers are giving you stick because they think you started it yourself, just tell them that's not how it works — somebody else started the article about you because you meet our inclusion standards, in exactly the same way as you got into IMDb once you met their inclusion standards.
But again, I'm not who started the article in the first place. So even if you still don't like it, I'm not who you actually have a problem with. Bearcat (talk) 03:04, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
