Recurring wrong merger- Nosrat Karimi

I just submitted a correction request regarding the issue I'm explaining here, but I thought that it's probably better to point out this issue to you here, as it has been rectified at least two times before and now I see this has happened again.There are two people named Nosrat (or Nosratollah) Karimi who have been in Iranian Cinema. The first and the more famous one was the Czech-trained animator, actor and comedy director  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosrat_Karimi) who got almost banned for making any -live action- film after 1979 revolution because his second directorial feature Mohallel (The interim husband) was perceived critical of Islamic laws. He passed away a few years ago. (see his picture here: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/120225-nosratollah-karimi). He is the father of Babak Karimi, the actor and editor. Recently a six-episode TV series on this Nosrat Karimi's life and films has been released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdKP1oQ6rDc&list=PLfh33AR-CL5T0uEsPMOvsnzWsdnb7tEsAThe other, younger Nosrat Karimi who was born in 1951 (you can see his picture here: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/5221266-nosratollah-karimi) also started his career in Iranian cinema before the revolution, but mostly in technical and logistical capacities (AD and so forth) and his career continued after the revolution. He often worked as an assistant director on films of Masud Kimiai, among others, and sometimes he was given small roles (once a separate page for him is created, I have to request moving some of the acting credits here to that page, as the first Nosrat Karimi was never allowed to play any role in Iranian cinema after 1979).Previously I also added a note to the trivia section on Nosrat Karimi's IMDB page, explaining this confusion. I hoped it would prevent these two people's filmography from getting merged together again, but unfortunately it didn't help)
