A PIlot I did in 2021 that was passed on by the network still shows up as "Upcoming"

Hello IMDb community!

A pilot I did in 2021 that was passed on by the network still shows up as "Upcoming" on IMDb. This makes it look like I am working and not available, resulting in prospective employers asking when I will be done and available, as well as vendors and crew asking if they can get on the show. I put a request in to get this moved from the "upcoming" section to the "past credits" section, but it was declined due to "lack of evidence."

There is no way to appeal, provide evidence, or have a dialog of any kind through the "update info" process, so hopefully someone will see this and offer some advice:

The show was called "Epic": 

[IMDb Link to Epic](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11603286/)

It was a pilot that ABC passed on in the summer of 2021 but still shows as upcoming on IMDb.

Here are the news stories I found about the show's status, which hopefully could count as evidence:

Hello brianwankum,

You can submit the credit deletion with the provided evidence using our online Update Form, you can find instructions in our Help Articles.

Not looking for the credit to be deleted,  just want to to be classified as a past credit instead of a current/upcoming credit.   Is that the same form?

Hi @brianwankum,

This title is displaying as upcoming because it has no release date information. In order for the title to be moved down into your past filmography, the title and its episode will need this data. Please refer to our Release dates Help article and be sure to note the guidance in the Episodic series rules section.

I hope this helps!
