Duplicate Keywords - List #24 (Proposals for Permanent Merger and Auto-Conversion) (real life people keywords)

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.) 220412-155307-133000 Track Contribution 2022-04-12 15:53:07 Red Rocket (2021) Cast - 1 credit added 220412-155203-274000 Track Contribution 2022-04-12 15:52:03 Red Rocket (2021) Cast - 1 credit added

https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/standalone-names-shouldnt-be-keywords/5f4a7c488815453dbafe9de9 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?

I added a few more keywords to this post, taken from the most prevalent and problematic of @Marco's keyword list here.

FYC: The Rolling Stones (18 titles) --> Reference to the rolling stones (263 titles)

Now that the seven-day comment period has passed, I am changing this to a problem post and the keyword list is ready for action by IMDb staff. Below is the full list with the numbers of titles removed.
