How do I delete my actor's page?
Someone hacked my account and listed a whole bunch of roles I did not earn, and even listed me as a female. It's hard enough making it in this industry as an actor and a filmmaker, let alone someone hacking your account and listing roles that could ruin your career that you've worked so hard to create.
I just want to delete my actor's profile and nip it in the bud now so whoever is this set on trying to ruin me, doesn't have anything to work with.
Can anyone help me, please? I've worked way too hard to get to where I'm at now, and I don't want someone screwing with me and trying to present me as a dishonest person.

You raised the issue of how long it will take to get the data fixed on your page. If you look at the Processing times page, http://www.imdb.com/czone/times, you will see that the oldest unprocessed data submissions are from 12 February 2016 (11 days ago). So I would expect that any corrections you submit would likely be processed within two weeks, if not sooner. I can't see any benefit to not getting started in trying to clean up the data on your page as soon as possible.
As a side note, it appears that every single role listed on your page is an uncredited role, which does raise the question of why any of them are listed at all. Normally a person has to have at least one credited job before they can get their uncredited work listed; see http://www.imdb.com/help/search?domain=helpdesk_faq&index=1&file=uncreditedcredits&ref_=..., paragraph 2. But, nevertheless, you should indeed seek to get the inaccurate data removed from your page.

My prior comment about "every single role listed on your page is an uncredited role, which does raise the question of why any of them are listed at all" is not accurate and should be disregarded.
By the way, as to Monongahela, you should be certain that you will be credited in the film for your role as "Bystander" before trying to correct that to credited instead of uncredited. If you try to claim an on-screen credit for that and it turns out that you wind up uncredited, that could damage your credibility with IMDb.
I don't think you need to request staff intervention in this IMDb thread, before you submit the corrections to your credits the "regular" way. To make the necessary corrections, go to your page at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4707324/, and click "Edit page".
On the next screen, on the Actress Credits [sic] line, select "Correct/Delete". Also, scroll down, and on the Gender line, select "Add item". Click "Continue".
On the next screen, you will see all your alleged acting roles. For each role that you did not do, select "Delete" in the menu to the left of that credit.
Please note that you should not try to delete any roles that are actually yours, even if you consider them unprestigious extra work or otherwise want to take them off your filmography. You should only try to delete the ones that you did not actually do.
Also, for Monongahela, select "Correct" in the menu.
Under Gender, select the radio button for Male. Click "Check these updates".
On the next screen, you will be required to provide an explanation for each credit you are deleting. You should state something like "I am Ryan C. Bogdewic (II), and I did not work on this film or play this role." Depending on the role, if it is something like "Pedestrian", you might also be able to say "The role is so vaguely identified that it is not possible to determine who played the role." But that would not be appropriate for a character like "Sgt. Meyers" or "Steven Jones - Prisoner 2011756". If you have any other evidence that you did not play the role (although I'm not sure what kind of evidence that might be), please include that as well.
Do not write anything along the lines of "I do not want to have this role listed on my IMDb page"; that would signify to IMDb that you did play the role. It's not a matter of what you want to list, it's a matter of what work you actually did.
For Monongahela, delete the (uncredited) attribute and leave that box blank. Check the box marked "provide an explanation to assist in processing this change".
Click "Re-check these updates".
On the next screen, you will be able to provide an explanation as to the Monongahela credit. Enter something like "This film is in post-production, and I am expected to be listed in the credits for this role."
Click "Re-check these updates".
On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to cick "Submit these updates".
In addition, I see other somewhat insulting characterizations of you which are included in the various biographical sections. You should be able to submit the deletions for these, assuming that they are inaccurate.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

I've just been through and given your page a tidy - I've taken down the disputed credits and tweaked your Monongahela credit to the credited role of Onlooker #2.
I've also submitted some changes to your Twin Flames credits as it appears that these had been mistakenly added to another film with the same title, and the had consequently been disputed by another user. I've moved your credits over to a new page which can be found here - please give it a day or so for the data to go live on the newly created page.
Once the changes have gone live, would you mind just casting your eye over your page and confirming that everything is now as it should be?
Many thanks
Jay
