Fake Profile

This page has a bunch of fake films / information with links that lead to trailers of other existing movies.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5082477/

-The posters are face swaps of already existing movies.

-There's even one with a soundtrack of a song that hadn't existed at the time of its supposed release.

-The budgets are random numbers strung together.

Someone seriously needs to remove all of these "film" pages.

Dig into it and you'll find more of these fake films. Mostly under the surnames Young and Peters. While some of the credits are legit, it seems someone uploaded to these pages to make the films seem real. Who accepted these fake IMDb pages?

@Michelle​ Coming to this thread from this new report about these same "Young" and "Peters" vandals: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/2-page-deletion-requests/6438642cd9469a0728a3858e

I cleaned a vandalism from another hijacked "Young" page on that new thread and I see it was a similar case here too. While all the recently added titles were fake and vandalism, this very old title page was for a real video game: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2404793/

Can you re-instate this title page?

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabolical_Pitch

And the old credit for that videogame on this nm5082477 page seems valid too: https://web.archive.org/web/20170217064955/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5082477/

Can you reinstate nm5082477 with only that videogame credit?

Basically they are taking over existing legit pages with some legit credits and add their nonsense to it.
