In Progress

Company Fox Kids [de] vanished

I made the Company Fox Kids [de] for the former german TV channel a longer time ago, now when I had another series which was running on it it said that the company doesnt exists. What happened?

Hi @tatjana1984 -

Do you happen to have the submission reference of when the company was created? So I can take a look on what could have happened.

Thanks!

@tatjana1984​ Hey! Without that it is a little complicated, I am thinking it might have been erroneously merged.

@tatjana1984​ You would have to submit corrections to split it again.

@tatjana1984​ Would you mind linking that company? I will check if there was a merge with it for starters.

@tatjana1984​ I think you lost me here. So it was not merged into any company? All credits only disappeared? I can't help much with no submission to track where the company went or a link to a company where it could have possibly been merged.

@tatjana1984​ No company was merged into that one. I also searched between all companies contributed by you and I can't find any other but the linked above called Fox Kids [de]. Are you completely sure it was accepted the first time?

@tatjana1984​ I checked and not even something with a similar name shows up. Do you remember any of the titles you added on that occasion? Maybe I can search that way

@tatjana1984​ Hi!

That helped, so it was merged into Fox Kids Network [us] since our help guide states:

  • When there is more than one page for the same company. This includes when a company has multiple pages that simply represent the fact that the same company once distributed or sold in that region. For example, Lionsgate [US] distributed A Simple Favor (2018) in Ireland, so this credit should be listed on Lionsgate [US] and not a separate page called Lionsgate [IE].

So eventually the new one you created will also be merged.

Thanks!

@Bethanny​ it would be the same if you would merge Universal Pictures Germany into Universal Pictures, that doesnt make sense somehow, the german TV station is not the same company as the american

@tatjana1984​ Hey! We would need evidence that the 2 companies are different companies.

Thanks!
