Solved

Unreleased Christopher Nolan movie merged with an unrelated film

In 2023 I had a whole dedicated thread here (https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/larry-mahoney-does-not-meet-elgibility-criteria-except-it-does/64d78e7b9726276c1359be96) to add "Larry Mahoney", an unreleased 1996 feature by Christopher Nolan, existence of which is confirmed and verified by multiple sources. Original submission (by IMDb staff on my behalf) was 230812-193533-768000. Today I accidentally discover that the title was either obliviously or maliciously merged with another movie with an unidentical title, just "Larry" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12952376/), with Nolan deleted from the crew. Trivia of "Larry Mahoney" remains intact, though. How on Earth an edit this big and this hard to reverse (I won't even try, staff should look into that) gets through? Thank God that I casually recheck the titles I've added in a specifically curated IMDb list, otherwise I'm not sure for how many years we would've had that mess. P.S. Either Sprinklr removed some of the functionality or all of my browsers are to obsolete for proper formatting. I apologize for that and if anyone can point me out towards adequate formatting with hyperlinks again, I'd be grateful. I also can't attach pictures.

Hi MykolaYeriomin- Thank you for reporting! After further investigating and reviewing, there was an incorrect title merge for Larry Mahoney (1996) to this other title Larry (2022) that got approved. This processing error has already been reported to the respective team. I have now moved all of the information you had submitted to a new page for Larry Mahoney (1996): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37269482/ The changes are still in-progess but will all appear on the site shortly. Further actions have been taken as well to prevent further incorrect merges on this title. As per your last question, the IMDb Community site was in maintenance mode a few months ago as we worked on updates. Therefore, some previously available functionality is currently not supported. We are working to reinstate this functionality to make it better and will share updates as they become available. Cheers!
