Stefanos: 1. Is your name Stefanos Kopanakis and are your credits combined with someone else's at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2115697/ ? 2. There are two drone operator credits in the Camera and Electrical Department on that page: Dimitris Tsinidelos: Romantikos (2023) (Music Video) and Miltiadis Koliadimas: Synnefa dantelota (2023) (Music Video). Are both of those your credits or just one of them?

If one of the credits on that page is yours, you can submit a credit correction/split first. Further instructions can be found here: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-can-i-move-credits-to-another-page/GYZQEK7ACM9KCUNA?ref_=helpsrall#

@Stefanos_kopanakis- You can only keep one as your name page display name. However, you can select to preserved the (as...) on the credits when you merge the pages to preserve Stefanos or Stevens depending on which page you are merging to your "main" page.
