Duplicate Keywords - List #24 (Proposals for Permanent Merger and Auto-Conversion) (real life people keywords)
Here is the next installment of my lists of proposed keywords for permanent merger and auto-conversion.
I am posting this for fellow contributors to review first and raise any objections or questions. I will wait at least seven days before changing this post to a "problem" post and asking IMDb staff to make the proposed changes.
The mergers and auto-conversions should be made in the direction of the arrows.

Standalone proper names are, of course, not intended to be keywords, but they must be audited carefully. IF the person appears in archive footage, they should be added to the cast listing. If they are just talked about or appear on-screen in a picture or drawing or text, the reference-to- keyword is appropriate.
''Just because a standalone proper name now appears as an incorrect keyword, one should not assume that it is automatically a reference-to- situation.
P.S. Of late, I have been having difficulty in getting the staff to accept a cast addition of someone who appears in archive footage. (And I am not talking about someone in a title that already exists on IMDb, which should be, according go guidelines, eliminated.) Don't know why there has been such hesitancy in adding people who appear in legitimate archive footage to the cast listing???
Just one title of many recent examples of these kinds of rejections: (I have seen this film. Guess IMDb hasn't.)

I have been working on this listing for years, renting and borrowing and searching on line for actual copies of titles to clarify standalone "name" keywords. Instead of just merging them (again, an expedient, scorched earth policy), why not join in the research so they can have the "correct" keyword?
