Father listed as cameraman, not me
Hi! My father was Phil Niekro. He was a baseball player. I am his son, Philip Bruce Niekro. I worked for WTBS in the 80s and worked as a cameraman for World Championship Wrestling. He has a IMDB page and I do not. He is credited for working on World Championship Wrestling. How do I get that changed? Thanks for any help!

Philip: I am assuming that the Camera and Electrical Department and the Additional Crew credits are yours (all for "World Championship Wrestling"), and all the other credits (Actor, Self, Thanks, Archive Footage) are your father's.
I started to write out instructions for how to do a Name Split, but I realized that there is an important piece of information I need to know to give you detailed instructions.
It makes a difference as to what name you were credited under on those wrestling programs. Were you credited as "Phil Niekro" (exact same name as your father was known by, but a different person), or a somewhat different name such as "Philip Niekro", "Phil Niekro Jr.", "Phil B. Niekro", etc.?
This will determine whether you get your credits moved to Niekro, Phil (II) -- same name but with a roman numeral attached to distinguish you from your father -- or a slightly different name.
With this info, it will be possible to give you step-by-step instructions.
