Fake name page (Dimwit)

Dimwit (IMDb name page) Dimwit is the name of a Terrytoons cartoon character. The page should be deleted. The name was probably added because of title cards like this:

Hi @jay_spirit - Thanks for reporting. I have now removed the incorrect credits and name page. The changes should be live on the site shortly. Cheers!

@ACT_1​ The puppets may count as the kind of objects (like Wilson the Volleyball) that IMDb sometimes allows to be credited as humans. For example, Elmer Sneezewood from the Three Mesquiteers westerns receives a legitimate credit in some of the movies.I'm not familiar with The Puppy Blog, but I'm guessing Mickey Mouse is making an unauthorized appearance. This unofficial Mickey Mouse may still be eligible for an IMDb page, but I wouldn't want it to share credits with the authorized Mickey Mouse. Right now, the page includes authorized Mickey Mouse appearances on The Wheel of Fortune and even a soundtrack credit for a Mickey cartoon from 1929.Should the authorized Mickey Mouse have its own page for The Wheel of Fortune appearances? Maybe, but please let's not add to the page all his appearances in the cartoons.

@jay_spirit​ 😀 ?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse The early Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse cartoons remained under copyright until the end of 2023 but since 2024 are in the US public domain .

@ACT_1​ Yeah, and that means there are endless new unauthorized credits for Mickey Mouse that could be added to the Mickey Mouse page. No one wants that.I've already seen dozens of parody Steamboat Willie cartoons on YouTube. As YouTube videos, they'd all be eligible for inclusion on IMDb. Someone could add them all to the database and then add Mickey Mouse's name to them. What a mess that would be.
