Solved

Name correction gone (slightly) wrong - Nielson

In submission #250803-095041-843000 I corrected this name (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7459275/) from Niels Littooij to Nielson. Nielson is the name this performer uses (official site is https://nielsonmusic.nl/) and it was also the name that was just on all 28 self credits. However, I now see that all 28 self credits have the attribute (as Niels Littooij) attached to it, while they used to have the (as Nielson) attribute listed. So they shouldn't have any attribute attached to them now. Can a staffer look into what happened here and fix this please? Also, the name page used to be for Nielson (and not Niels Littooij) and this was changed somewhere between April 2023 (https://web.archive.org/web/20230419000507/www.imdb.com/name/nm7459275/) and December 2024 (https://web.archive.org/web/20241204100702/www.imdb.com/name/nm7459275/), so fairly recent. Can a staffer contact the person who made this change and explain that for some people, their birth name isn't the name that should be atop their page? And can you check if they may have changed other IMDb name pages as well please? It seems this person thinks the birth name should always be listed. Hopefully they'll leave Eminem's page alone :)

@Maya: Thanks for the fix. Can you react to the end of my post as well please?: "Can a staffer contact the person who made this change and explain that for some people, their birth name isn't the name that should be atop their page? And can you check if they may have changed other IMDb name pages as well please? It seems this person thinks the birth name should always be listed.
