Condense three different pages of credits

Hey, so for the longest time, I've existed as three different pages on imdb, and I'd like to finally solve that. Where is the option to merge pages, and/or who do I talk to about turning my triplicate into a single? Pages linked below for clarity:

https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm5510964/?q=Ian+Kronenberg

https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm9942766/?q=Ian+Kronenberg

https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3899800/?q=Ian+Kronenberg

Ian: Here is how to submit the merges. You will have to submit two separate merges, since you have three pages to get merged.

Before you do any of this, please make sure that all the data on all three pages refers to yourself and nobody else's credits or biographical information are on any of the three pages. If anybody else's credits or data have gotten mixed up in there, you can still get the problem fixed, but the instructions below would not all be appropriate for the situation; you would need to provide the details here so we could advise you on how to separate your data from the other person's data in that situation.

Assuming all the data on all three pages pertains to you:

First: merge Ian Kronenberg (III) to Ian Kronenberg (I)

Go to your (III) page at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9942766/. Click "Edit page".

On the next screen, on the Name Merge line, select "Add merge". Scroll down and click "Continue".

On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter your corrected name. Enter it as:

Kronenberg, Ian (I)

If you get a drop-down box with various versions of your name, including Ian Kronenberg (I) from Additional Crew, Time Lapse (2014), select that version.

Un-check the box labeled "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Ian Kronenberg)'". It's not relevant to this particular merge.

In the Explanation box, enter something like this: "I am Ian Kronenberg, and my credits have been mistakenly split among multiple name pages. Both the Ian Kronenberg (I) and (III) pages are solely about me, and so these two pages should be merged." Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "This merge has warnings, you must acknowledge each one before this merge will be accepted. You are about to merge two separate name pages into one.

Are you sure you wish to merge this name page into the page for Kronenberg, Ian (I)? ..." That's what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates".

On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".

Allow a few days for the merge to be completed.

Second: merge Ian M. Kronenberg to Ian Kronenberg (I)

However, you don't have to wait for the first merge to be completed to submit the other merge. You can go ahead right after you submit the first merge.

On this merge involving the page with your middle initial, though, there are some credits listed where there is an attribute that says (as Ian Kronenberg), indicating that you were not credited with a middle initial on such titles as 12/12/12Hold Your Breath, and Titanic II.

For Hansel & Gretel, it says you were credited as "Ian Kroenberg" (leaving out the first N in your surname).

On the other hand, there is no attribute for such other titles as The Deceived, Haunted: 333, Dismissed, Alpha House, Mega Shark vs. CrocosaurusMilf, and 2010: Moby Dick -- which means that you were credited with a middle initial for those films.

This is very important. The question is: were you actually credited with a middle initial on those films? I'll come back to that below.

Go to your Ian M. Kronenberg page at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3899800/. Click "Edit page".

On the next screen, on the Name Merge line, select "Add merge". Scroll down and click "Continue".

On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter your corrected name. Enter it as:

Kronenberg, Ian (I)

Again, if you get a drop-down box with various versions of your name, including Ian Kronenberg (I) from Additional Crew, Time Lapse (2014), select that version.

However, this time, if you actually have been credited sometimes as Ian M. Kronenberg with a middle initial, make sure the box labeled "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Ian M. Kronenberg)'" is checked.

And if you were credited on Hansel & Gretel as Ian Kroenberg, then also make sure that box is checked.

Only un-check the box if you have only been credited as Ian Kronenberg, with no middle initial and never misspelled by leaving out the first N.

This time, in the Explanation box, enter "I am Ian Kronenberg, also known as Ian M. Kronenberg, and my credits have been mistakenly split among multiple name pages. Both the Ian Kronenberg (I) and Ian M. Kronenberg pages are solely about me, and so these two pages should be merged, under my preferred name without the middle initial." Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get either one or two warnings. As before, one of the warnings will say, "You are about to merge two separate name pages into one. Are you sure you wish to merge this name page into the page for Kronenberg, Ian (I)? ..." And that's still what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway."

However, if you un-checked the box on the previous screen that said, "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Ian M. Kronenberg)'", the first warning you will get will say, "By unticking the box to preserve existing credits, you are implying they are incorrect. ..." Again, you should only have un-checked that box if you were always credited as Ian Kronenberg and never any variation of that name. If so, check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." (If you left the "Preserve previous name ..." box checked, you won't get this warning here.)

Click "Re-check these updates".

On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".

Allow a few days for the merge to be completed.

Good luck!
