Duplicate title entries for (upcoming) SNL 1975

The contributor guides say that, in the case of duplicate title entries, merely changing one title to match the other will result in a merge of the two entries. But both https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27657135/ and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30983080/ (which already have the exact same title, "SNL 1975") appear to be completely duplicate entries for the same upcoming film about the first live SNL broadcast.

I read that page already, it's what I was referring to. I don't see how the directions can be followed on those entries.

To submit a correction, you should use the 'Title Correction' option to change the title of one to the second. For example, if you know that the pages for Untitled XYZ Project (2006) and The ABC Movie (2006) refer to the same film, you would go to the page for Untitled XYZ Project (2006), click on the Edit Page button at the bottom of the page, select the 'Title Correction' option and change the title of the film to The ABC Movie (2006). This will result in a merge of the two titles.

The two pages already have the same title.

Ah, now I see. The entries are actually in the database as "SNL 1975 (????/I)" and "SNL 1975 (????/II)". Attempting to change the second to "SNL 1975 (????/I)" initiates the merge process.

Well, that's... less than intuitive. But, got it. Thanks.
