How can we get a name deleted from IMDB?

We sent several pleading emails and they send the same scripted reply that they do not delete accounts the believe to be true.

How can this be? We are the actual people and this is not true.   It seems like I am not even getting thru to a person.

This seems illegal and intrusive for others to be able to falsely add our name , but yet we cannot delete it.

Does anyone know what can be done?

There is more than one group and person with that title on you tube and none of them are films with credits and my son was not in nor credited.  They are just videos made by rock musicians about their music or some goofy comedic stuff. There is no film or show related to this title with any film credits. 

So, not sure what you mean by you believe the person will be credited on screen and that I won't do that...That sounds like you are calling us liars. If I say that we are not part of this film credit because we were not part of it, then I would think we know more than others that "believe" what they have not proven. 

So if I post all of the related videos to this title show, how will that proof anything? If IMDb does not know my son, then  How can that prove  to them he was not in any video. And there are several shows and rock videos with this title name.  

Thanks , but we were looking for help, not accusations.  

Telling us where to post videos and specific details is more like helping. 

I thought this was a forum for community help.

yea but you can't accuse people.  that is a broad based assumption.  also very rude to come right out and call someone a liar.  people don't talk like that in person because we know it is not polite.  Written word and any form of communication should  also include the same social politeness. 

that is multiple people, not every single person in the world. nothing should be that generalized.

Ok. I will ask again.  All I got is one trolling accusation from a community forum member saying they do not  think we will  post entire films to show we are not credited because they  know we were in them and that is what happens when you regret what you filmed.

We are seeking help, not the community forum  calling us liars.   Seriously, social media is still not an acceptable way to just speak your inner most judgmental thoughts of humans.

 

There is no film even with this title, only some goofy rock videos or music videos with no film  credits  found on you tube. 

So, where do we post these videos to show that someone is not in the film? And that there are no film credits? Do I  have to  post all these videos of bands to prove this?   And how does that prove someone is not in the video if IMDb does not know who they are?

There are no credits and this person we are trying to delete is clearly  not in this video!   We think  the name was added later by others who  were mistaken.  The name in question here would have been  for a child about 5 years old at the time the video was made and clearly that is not  this person in the video..

@Michelle , My son's name was used on a page and the information is not true.  We emailed a couple times to see if it can be deleted and we got the same reply each time that it is something they believe to be true.   

How can they know or believe that?  My son is the actual person and he is trying to ask for it to be deleted. He would know if it is true or not versus IMDb believing it to be true. This is a problem. It is the first thing that comes up if you google his name

Hi Rockjenny -

Can you clarify the IMDb page you are requesting the removal of?  Our staff can then take a look and investigate further.

Cheers!
