Credit Deletion of a Wrong Person

I am trying for weeks already to erase the co-writing credit of a person that has been listed as a writer in one of our projects and it keeps being denied. I have mentioned that the person has never been involved in the project, has no contract and has never been credited (opening or end credits). For that reason I have even submitted the entire film so the IMDb team can see that. I as well asked the IMDb team to check when this person has been added, as most likely it was not added in the first 5 years after the movie was released - as it is self-explanatory that a writer would have been added from the very beginning.

So this person was either added fraudulently or belongs to another project and by mistake was added to ours. It is very interesting how it sounds that IMDb wants to have the most accurate information but keeps denying (with the same automated message) to erase the name of a person that has nothing to do with a project.

Hi Maya,

Thank you very much for your help.

I don't know if this should be addressed here, but the same person is listed in another film of ours - again, no contracts, no credits and same I am sure she was not added earlier than the first 5 years which should be suspicious, especially for a writer.

I got the same automatic message denying the request. The person has nothing to do with this project.

If you think that is ok to take a look I leave bellow the film link and the 18 digit submission reference number:

Film IMDb link: https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt1874785/?ref_=nm_filmo_pastfilmvid_13

Reference #: 241127-214853-867000

If I should create a new message chain please let me know.

Thank you for your help and assistance.
