Double IMDB credit

Hi I’m reaching out to clarify a misattribution on IMDb. I directed a short film titled Christmas Mubarak (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9102662/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_7), which was released in 2018. However, a year later, this short was bundled—without my knowledge—into a Christmas feature film alongside other shorts (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9813338/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_5). I had no involvement in this secondary project, no input on its structure, packaging, or creative direction. Despite this, I’ve now been credited as a director on the feature, which is factually incorrect and misleading. I respectfully ask that my name be removed from any credits associated with this bundled project. To list me as a director implies creative authorship and consent, neither of which were given. Thank you for your help in correcting this.

Hello ArefMahabadi Does your name show in the official end credits for the bundle? keep on mind that we list credits as they show in the official onscreen end credits. If you are not credited you can submit the deletion using the online Update Form and attaching evidence from the onscreen credits showing that your name does not show and you are not part of the title. You can also take a look at our Help Articles for more information: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/how-can-i-submit-additional-verification-for-a-credit-submission/GN93ME9NVXHVE36E?ref_=helpsrall#

@ArefMahabadi- We can confirm that the credit was verified against the title's on-screen credits, which is how all IMDb credits are verified as legitimate/factual. Therefore, it is our policy not to alter or delete any kind of correct/factual information or credit from our records.

@Maya So I can just put Quentin Tarantino in my next short film credits and it will be factual? I'm literally the director telling you I was not involved.
