Delete false IMDB title of an album masquerading as a tv-show

I've tried to do this via the IMDB contact form but the message sent back has been (twice) that they want to be as complete a database as possible and don't delete titles. Complete misunderstanding, because this is not an actual title. It's this one: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12127990/ 'Bassie & Adriaan zingen Alle Sinterklaasliedjes' (2020). Someone added this as a tv-mini series. It wasn't a tv series in the slightest. It's a CD album that was released in 1996 (see discogs listing: https://www.discogs.com/master/763871-Bassie-Adriaan-Alle-Sinterklaasliedjes-Met-Bassie-Adriaan) with songs from the Dutch Saint Nicholas holiday. Bassie & Adriaan were a Dutch children act, who did tv-shows and released many albums with songs. This album was re-released on spotify and other streaming services in 2020. The person who added this as an IMDB title then took the youtube stream listings and pretended it was a tv-show when it was just an album of songs. For episode listings, he/she took all the songs and listed them as individual episodes.

Just to re-assure everyone, this is not an audiobook, or a podcast. It's a CD with songs, now masquerading on IMDB as a tv-show. In my opinion, this does not belong on the IMDB. I like to add that it's a bit troubling too that when I contacted the IMDB with this they could not grasp this at all. But it just doesn't make sense for this to be on IMDB. There's no listing for Dark Side of the Moon, Abbey Road or Rubber Soul either, which is exactly the same thing as this.
