How do I properly format a "Incorrectly Regarded as Goof" submission?
I was looking for guidance in the Goofs page of the Help centre, but I didn't see anything about the specifics of how to format an "Incorrectly Regarded as Goof" submission. In particular, do I keep the full text of the original Goof submission before explaining why it's not a goof? Thanks!

Why is this an exception, if it is? With advance title search, one can als

Music video removal
So I’ve reached out multiple times to IMDb trying to remove myself from a music video that I don’t want to be associated with. I’ve tried just doing it on IMDb pro and it won’t get removed. Then I sent something to IMDb support and they never responded. Is there something I’m missing?
