Enigma vs Michael Cretu

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1107371/?ref_=fn_nme_nme_2

"Enigma" is a project/group of Michael Cretu but it's not one person. The project "Enigma" was created in 1990 by Michael Cretu, David Fairstein and Frank Peterson.

So, "Enigma" is at least 3 persons.

In the IMDB "Enigma" and Michael Cretu are merged into one entry which is definitely not correct. (There was no sepparate entry for Michael Cretu until I added one for "Rockpop Music Hall" just some minutes before posting here.)

I'd like to have tips how to start the sepparation process. My biggest question concern the trivia and biography section of "Enigma" which is the bio of Michael Cretu. Can I move them? Because it would be easier to move all the Cretu data to the newly created Cretu entry. Otherwise I would need to change the Enigma-entry and move the real Enigma-credits to a newly created Enigma-page.  ????

Soundtrack: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15135166/soundtrack/?ref_=tttr_ql_trv_7

It should be "Written by Michael Cretu" and "Performed by Enigma".

The "Michael Cretu" page I created an hour ago: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17001623/?ref_=tt_rv_t3

Which is correct because in 1985 there was no Enigma.

The update form lets you move bio, trivia and marriage data using the "Show name" checkbox. However, the birth date and name don't have this option, so they would have to be deleted and added, unless IMDb staff can help move them.

The soundtrack items are also tricky as any errors would have to be corrected one by one, unless IMDb could unmerge the pages, which were apparently merged a few years ago.
