Solved

no way to delete a duplicate actor entry

In Melody for Three, the actor-name Donnie Allen is entered twice, once Donnie Allen (III) (the right one), and another Donnie Allen (I), a more recent technical person with credits (electrician, &c.) some seventy (70) years after Melody for Three. The birth/death dates for Donnie Allen (III) - 1928-1987 - match the age of the

character 'Red' Bates (an early teen boy) in Melody for Three. On the other hand, Donnie Allen (I) has only one acting credit - this one (which is incorrect). This error can't be corrected by editing the page - it asks for 'evidence', as if it's a proposed new entry. Can someone fix this?

Gerald: Have you tried submitting a Delete from the Cast credits of Melody for Three for Donnie Allen (I), with an explanation along the following lines?

This is an erroneous listing. Donnie Allen (III) appeared in this film and is already listed in the IMDb credits. Donnie Allen (I) is not an actor; all his credits are in the Camera and Electrical Department, and the earliest of them is in 1981 -- forty years after this film was made.
