Merge 4 differents accounts that I don't have access to, into 1 that I created.

Hi Recently I tried to create an account and add al the projects that I've been a part of as a Sound mixer, but there are 4 different accounts that are under my name and that I don't have access to, and the one that want to merge that is the one that I recently created, I will put the links of this said accounts. Account 1 - Martin Cabrera - https://www.imdb.com/es/name/nm9754008/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_4_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_Martin%2520Cabrera Account 2 - Martin Daniel Cabrera Garcia - https://www.imdb.com/es/name/nm8816694/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_7_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_Martin%2520cabrera Account 3 - Martin Zinglaterry Cabrera - https://www.imdb.com/es/name/nm13974379/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_Martin%2520Cabrera Account 4 - Martin Zinglaterry - https://www.imdb.com/es/name/nm9185917/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_4_tt_5_nm_3_in_0_q_zinglaterry And this is the account that I want to merge those four accounts into. New Account - MartinZinglaterry - https://www.imdb.com/es/user/ur208374908/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Is there something I can do about it?

Martin: This issue has to do with the difference between a *name* page and a *user* page. For example, Marilyn Monroe has a name page ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000054/ ), but not a user page, because she died before there was an Internet, while I (gromit82) have a user page ( http://www.imdb.com/user/ur1879600/ ) but no name page because I don't have any film or television credits. Since you have film credits and also use the database, you are supposed to have both kinds of pages. This is explained further in the Help Center at: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/what-s-the-difference-between-an-imdb-page-and-user-profile/GHQEDYZ5DJ5Y8G5S One can merge name pages if they are for the same person, but one can't merge a name page with a user page, as they are two different kinds of pages. If the main name under which you work is Martín Zinglaterry, you will want to merge each of Account 1, Account 2, and Account 3 to that name. (You would need three separate data submissions to do so, one at a time, but you don't have to wait for each one to be processed to start on the next submission.) For example, you would go to the page for Account 1 -- Martin Cabrera (II) at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9754008/ and click "Edit page". On the next screen, on the Name Merge line, select "Add merge". Click "Continue". On the next screen, there will be a blank line to enter the corrected name. Enter it as: Zinglaterry, Martín (Make sure to include the accent on your first name.) There will be a checkbox that says, "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Martin Cabrera)'". If indeed you were credited previously as Martin Cabrera, as I assume you were, leave that box checked. You will be asked to provide an explanation. Enter something like "I am Martín Zinglaterry, but I have been credited under several different names in the past, including Martin Cabrera. My primary name is Martín Zinglaterry, and all my credits should be merged to that page. All credits on both pages are mine." Click "Check these updates". On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "You are about to merge two separate name pages into one. Are you sure you wish to merge this name page into the page for Zinglaterry, Martín? ..." That's what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates". On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates". You can then go ahead and follow a similar procedure for Account 2 and Account 3. Allow a few days for the merges to be processed. Good luck!
