Duplicate Pages for a True Crime Doc TV Series

@Beni45​ I noticed a review saying some of the episodes were as old as 2012, makes you wonder if they aired over 10 years ago under different titles, maybe it was a plan to re-release them that way at link 2, then they changed their mind and they were released 10 at a time in 2 blocks and renamed. Only guess work but maybe some of the better sleuths here can add something, but I'd hold off on a merge for now.

Anyone with episode access could check out if the crew here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21340132/fullcredits/

matches with the released episodes to see if there are at least in right ballpark because nothing matches on the site, crew wise on either page.

Good work on bringing attention to it. 

@VonPunk​ I think you're talking about this review: https://www.imdb.com/review/rw8899464/

I checked all episodes and they all have 2022 copyright dates, the reviewer probably saw 2022 as 2012. Episodes seem new, not something old.

If I had to guess, a page was made, someone added 15 episodes of currently undetermined origin (although some titles are of similar reference in topic), and someone else came along, thought "F that mess" and made a 2nd page and added stuff correctly.

I agree, I think that's what happened, someone said "F that mess" and created the second page, maybe episodes were added in the first page while it was still in early development but not ended up being released like that. It seems it was added with a placeholder "1 January" date, then someone incorrectly continued that placeholder date like it was a weekly show.

Anyway, I added missing second season episodes here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26895624/episodes/

I also moved crew credits by checking onscreen credits of episodes (a few on first title page is nowhere in credits of any episodes, so they don't need to be moved anyway). So if a merge is gonna happen, first all episodes on this page should be deleted: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21340132/episodes/

Then the emptied page should be merged, because it's not really possible to find merge destinations for episodes from that messy page. Also wrong release dates and episode titles would create a cleanup hassle.

To summarize for staff:

- Please delete all episodes on this page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21340132/episodes/

- Then merge tt26895624 with emptied tt21340132

Then it will be done perfectly (tt26895624 has correct episode listings, don't delete any episodes from tt26895624)

@mbmb​ Thanks for following up on this and looking at the episodes in person (and adding the missing ones). Perfect summary to solve the problem with minimal issues.

Working on the clean up, will confirm as soon as is done! Thanks for the help and patience!!

Clean up and merge has been done, the changes will be live on the site shortly!!

Cheers!
