Help with a rejected submission

Is it possible to get more information about why a biography has been rejected? I've reviewed the submission guidelines and re-submitted with some changes, but it was rejected again and can't figure it out. The most recent submission is for 250306-214016-629000. Also I submitted a URL that was approved as part of 250305-015400-665000, but it does not show on the page (I thought the URL which is a link to a published article would get included on his page). Thank you for any assistance.

Hi FerrisBueller - I reviewed your Bio submission and can confirm it was declined because it included some data that specifically belongs in other sections. For example: the list of mentioned TV credits should really be under the individuals' Credits section, Birthplace and Birthname should be submitted as a separate Biography data items. With that being said, I encourage you to remove those details from the Bio you wrote and then resubmit, you can then submit those items under the applicable data sections on Robert's page. Concerning the External Link, it was approved and is visible on his page under "Miscellaneous Sites" here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0135942/externalsites/ I hope this helps!

Thank you, I had reviewed other bios and modeled this one after those, but I can remove the credits (I intended it to be a more of a focused view of what someone would know him from and is a small portion of the total work). I'm also trying to remove the spouse info which looks like it's being fed from another bio. That person is not someone he was married to. That submission was rejected under 250301-165139-231000 as being unable to verify (not sure how to verify that two people weren't married, the person who submitted it didn't produce any proof that they were married). I'd appreciate any advice on that as well (feel free to email me directly from the submission email address).

What would be acceptable supporting evidence for people not being married? Whoever submitted that they were married didn't have any supporting evidence (and doesn't even know the years since it's listed as 196?-196?). I could show evidence of who he was married to, but if it doesn't overlap the years completely I'm not sure it would exclude the erroneous entry. His obituary, which was accepted as an external link, names a different spouse.

Thanks Maya. I can see it was removed on his profile, but is sill on hers. I submitted a request to remove it there too, but it was rejected again (250317-165625-018000). I explained in the submission that it had been approved for removal on his profile based on submitted info. Can you assist with this one too?
