Name Correction

Hi Team, I recently submitted a request to correct the name of an actress, but unfortunately, it has been rejected three times even though I provided a strong and reliable source to support the correction. This has been quite disappointing, and I would really appreciate some guidance on how to proceed or what might be missing from my submission. Imdb profile - https://m.imdb.com/name/nm12423729/ Name to be corrected- Surjasikha Das Source- https://www.telegraphindia.com/amp/entertainment/meet-assamese-girl-surjasikha-das-who-impressed-with-her-acting-in-kajol-starrer-maa-photogallery/cid/2111412 https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment-news/bollywood/maa-actress-surjasikha-das-reveals-why-she-broke-down-on-day-two-of-kajol-horror-film-shoot-exclusive-article-152135127/amp

Hi hirasingh, Thank you for your problem report. I can confirm your attempts for a name correction here have been appropriately declined, as in the scenario of an individual having multiple known names, our policy is to list their name as they most often appear on-screen. In this case, we have no credits listed for this person with the name you were attempting to change the text to. Therefore, your corrections could not be approved. If and when this individual is credited on-screen with the name you attempted to change it to, only then could we add this new name. I hope this helps!

She credited on-screen with this name in her recent movie “Maa”. Movie link- https://m.imdb.com/title/tt30496762/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_1 News source- https://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-movies/movie-reviews/maa-movie-review-kajol-daughter-are-the-only-spark-in-this-otherwise-dim-directionless-routine-horror-drama/amp/ In this review, the publication stated her new name. So please correct his name based on this.

Hi hirasingh, As mentioned above, we would only add a new name if we can verify the person's name is different on-screen. The evidence you have provided above does not verify how she is credited on-screen for this title, and therefore is not sufficient for this case. Thanks!

I want to clear that, previously she worked as Surjyasikha Das in all her projects but from her recent project she changed the spelling of her first name aa “Surjasikha”. Thats it. I provided the sources that claim this. Also i want to share some more news sources of her with this new name. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/initially-i-was-a-little-overwhelmed-surjasikha-das-opens-up-about-her-fear-of-approaching-kajol-on-the-sets-of-maa/amp_articleshow/122241622.cms https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/amp/news/features/exclusive-surjasikha-das-working-ajay-devgn-maa-clicking-picture-early-days-says-getting-opportunity-work-early-career-truly/

Hi hirasingh, For further clarity, none of the above sources are sufficient in this case. We would need to see the *on-screen* end credits crawl indicating the name change, in order to add her new name. I hope this helps!

These reviews on reliable sources aren’t enough for claiming this? The publications clearly mentioned her new name.

I raised a concern about changing a name. Provided all sources for this. But the person who was talking to me closed the conversation without solving my problem.

I have provided you reviews of the film in reliable sources which state her new name. I am confused why it’s not enough?

Hi hirasingh, As stated above, and also mentioned in our Name Corrections guidelines below, it is against our policy to change a name to something other than how the person is mostly credited on-screen. As in this case, this person is credited on-screen with their current name on IMDb and as such, her credits and name should remain that way. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/names/GSA3M6SFHRAERXZ3?ref_=helpsrall#corrections Furthermore, this person has claimed their name page, and it is up to the name page owner to determine how they want their name to be displayed on IMDb. As above, if we were to verify this person has a number of on-screen credits with the new name, we would then add this new name to the page. Please also see the following Help guide for more information about name changes: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/how-do-i-change-my-name/GRN6Q8GNKSPYECMN I hope this helps!

If i provide you her on screen end credit? It would be enough ? I just want that as she started working with this new name so her profile name should be Surjasikha Das, and her previous Credits should be mentioned as Surjyasikha Das.

Hi hirasingh, Yes, you would need to submit a correction her credit on that title, and provide evidence of the on-screen credits to support this correction. Please see our Help guide for more information. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/how-can-i-submit-additional-verification-for-a-credit-submission/GN93ME9NVXHVE36E# Cheers!

Hi hirasingh, You will not create a new IMDb page by submitting a credit correction. You can submit a correction to this person's name on that title by following the instructions in the below Help guide, and providing on-screen evidence. Please also remember to use the attribute field to complete the correction. E.g. the credit should read: Surjyasikha Das - Nandini (as Surjasikha Das). https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-correct-credits/GB89HGHNUMFYFHEJ? Thanks!

Hi hirasingh, I can see that your contribution was declined because our team could not access the link you had provided. We recommend uploading a screenshot of the on-screen credits to a site such as https://imgur.com/ and adding the link to your re-submission. Thanks!

Hi hirasingh, You will need to submit a new submission with this link, and correct the *credit* where this person's name is spelled differently. Do not submit a *Name Correction*. Please refer to the above advice and specific Help pages we have given you in order to complete this. Thanks!

Hi hirasingh, Please refer to this above comment: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/name-correction/686f5b6cbaf97d361a0ed193?commentId=686f9f13baf97d361a10a871&replyId=686fa84dbaf97d361a10e303 You will need to submit a *credit correction* for the credit you have the above on-screen evidence for. Her IMDb page name will only change if the page owner wishes to correct it themselves, or if there are more credits listed on her page with the new name. Thanks!

Why you are misguiding me? Please read full thread, its full of confusion. I was told to provide on screen and credit for name correction but now you’re saying totally different concept. Please listen carefully… i want to change her main profile name, as she made a minor difference in her name…. So tell me exactly what should i do in this case? What is the best way?
