These fake titles could be related or it could be from another vandal:

Here is a conversation between a Wikipedia editor and a user who was banned for "creating hoax articles": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:KylieTastic/Archive_2023#Hey_Kylie?

where the Wikipedia editor says this: "anyone can put pretty much anything on IMDB these days - it's frequently used to produce fake sources"

Hi @mbmb & @tonicdnamax -

Thanks to both for reporting this, I have now deleted the series and others reported by mbmb, 1 of them was not related to the rest and there is evidence online for the animation, all the rest were coming from a few accounts in which I took extra steps and deleted other titles submitted by them too.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thanks, especially for performing a cleanup on other titles added by the user too, because I had 2 more titles discovered and was just gonna post them here but I see they were also deleted now :)

About this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23768446/

I found some a few minutes videos too (none of it is from 2016 like claimed on this page btw), made with a trial video editing program, filled with fake company logos like Netflix, Cartoon Network, Disney etc. and fake credits with known people names but I couldn't find proper episodes to suggest it would be eligible for a series page. I can't find that only added episode named "The Big Day" for example.

Anyway, even if these amateur videos filled with fake credits made by a kid are deemed eligible, one thing is certain is that it's not produced by Emmy and BAFTA winner or nominated producers like Steven DeNure, Sam Register , Dan Weinstein , or composed by Emmy winner Parry Gripp (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23768446/trivia) and cast credits are not valid too. I mean, at least some steps should be taken for these fake credit additions too because I guess he will continue doing it.

In short, there is no such series aired in 2016 in big channels like Cartoon Network, Disney, Netflix produced by BAFTA or Emmy award winner producers and with known people in its cast. There is some a few minutes fake amateur videos made by a kid after 2020 (with dubious eligibility and no proper release to warrant series page eligibility) and a fake title page with only fake informations.

@Bethanny​ I found one from "Suite Life of Hudson" vandal that's either missed or from another account: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27592312/

Can you delete it and check if you already took steps for the creator?

@mbmb​ Done! This was from same account, seams like I missed it.

Hi @mbmb​ -

I have now removed the most recently reported series title listing (for "Jeyson and Friends BFB: The Worldwide Series").   If there are any further outstanding issues, let us know!

@Michelle​ Thanks, unfortunately there is an outstanding issue, I just noticed now that "Hudson" vandal immediately started to work on recreating the titles deleted by Bethanny again, likely with a new account:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27725008/

It looks like he has no intention to stop. Can you delete this title and others added by the user, if there are any. I don't think it's going to be that much because it's probably a new account.

Hi @mbmb​ -

Thanks for catching this new listing, I have now removed it as well as removed other fake titles I identified as a result of the violating contributors. 

@Michelle​ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27805323/

@Michelle​ @Bethanny please handle the new title and user before it goes out of control. He already added new episodes during this two days.

@mbmb​ Hey! Taken care off, I made sure no other titles were uploaded from the account either.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ I think this fake title was added by this vandal, looks like a similar style to me: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28267629/

Can you check the user and take necessary actions, and see if there are other titles coming from them?

Hi @mbmb​ -

Thanks for reporting this title, I have now taken the appropriate actions and have removed it (should be off the site shortly).  Thanks again!
