Talk:David Ellison

the article states "David made his theatrical debut in the movie Flyboys"(2006) and then lists film(s) in 2005? Is this actor travelling back in time?--Alchemist Jack (talk) 11:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I do not think this article matches WP:ENT

1. Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. I don't think Student number 1 counts.
2. Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. no
3. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. err...No.

This leaves Flyboys which "Variety named it one of the 10 biggest box office flops of the year, citing an estimated shortfall of $90 million." Reception. I am not sure being in one of the biggest flops of the year and "currently producing Northern Lights, slated to film in the fall of 2008." is enough. Or am I missing something?--Alchemist Jack (talk) 11:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I suppose I am missing the two other in Production films- Little Fish, Strange Pond (2009) (post-production) as Romeo and ParFection: The Golf Movie (2009) (completed) as Tyler Hayden . I suppose it is wait and see. I am going to re-jig the wording on the article to make it more up-to-date ( I see that Northern Lights slated for 2008 is still in development) but I still feel it is a bit thin. --Alchemist Jack (talk) 12:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

The conversations and posts I’m seeing on Instagram, even from Bernie Sanders, are giving me the impression that David Ellison and his family are Republicans. Are there any legible sources talking about their true leanings? Kaden Bayne Vanciel (talk) 16:42, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

One for Wikipedia’s enemies list then I take it?

See my "David Ellison's Political Affiliations" talk post. It would appear that he is being a CEO pragmatist although his political contributions weigh heavily on the Democratic side. Concordia Nova (talk) 16:40, 8 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Looks like he is going to get WB after all. I don't have the energy to add that myself but someone should. Daleylife (talk) 23:20, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi everyone,

I would like to propose a more balanced edit regarding David Ellison's political affiliations to adhere strictly to the Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy. Currently, the article characterizes him as "an ally of Donald Trump." While his recent corporate/personal interactions with the Trump administration are notable, omitting his extensive personal history as a Democratic donor creates an incomplete narrative.

To ensure neutrality, we should update this section to include his recorded individual political contributions. For example, Federal Election Commission (FEC) data shows that on February 27, 2024, Ellison contributed $929,600 to the Biden Victory Fund, the same day maxed out donations to the Democratic National Committee ($123,900 and $41,300) and sent $10,000 checks to 34 different state Democratic party committees, and maxed out individual contributions to Kamala Harris^[1], alongside describing himself in an op-ed piece on 8/4/2026 in the New York TImes as a "socially liberal person^[2]."

I suggest revising the text to neutrally state that he has a history of contributing to and engaging with figures from both major political parties as a competent CEO who has to play ball with any sitting presidential administration.

I welcome thoughts on how we can best phrase this to meet NPOV guidelines. Concordia Nova (talk) 16:37, 8 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

• How he describes himself isn't really interesting. That "ally of Trump" quote is preceded in that sentence by "But since 2025, Ellison has been described...", so it already has him on both sides. I think the thing is that there is a progression in time here, a shift in political leanings, rather than what you seem to suggest, a timeless balance of interests.
