Solved

Affiliated to an imdb account I have nothing to do with.

My name was added as the author to an actor's IMDb biography. The actor has removed my name, however, when i search my name his imdb profile still shows up. I want no link to this person. How do I get this issue fixed?

@Bethanny​ I was advised to get in contact with the imdb webmaster. Do you have any suggestions on how i can fix this issue.

@gstarr​ If it's a search engine showing this data, try clearing your browser's cache and search it again on your browser, if it results in the data still showing up on your search, you can try contacting the company that runs the search engine. At this point it is gone from IMDb and there's nothing they can do about the rest of the internet. Search engine caches don't usually last forever so if it only recently was deleted from IMDb it may disappear from the web searches eventually anyway and if it was scraped to another site by bots, it'll possibly update itself on the next scrape of that page and disappear from those also.
