How do I remove a duplicate account?

I created an account in May 2022. This is Loysh Cartmer (i)

Since then, a created was added to another account which I can't figure out how I made, but that is now Loysh Cartmer (ii) . 

How do I completely remove the second one? I've taken the film credit off. I just want the one account to avoid confusion - there's nobody else with the same name, so they're both mine.

Hi @loyshis,

Please can you provide more information so we may look into this for you? Are all the credits across both of the name pages your work?

Thanks!

@Ozzy​ Hi, Thank you! 
I'm happy for the 2nd one to be deleted , as I only added the 'Love Sounds Like' (Cinematographer) this year. 
The other roles listed under Loysh Cartmer (i) are:

Jims Second Chance - Sound Department 

and, 

Music Video

 - Cinematographer

I honestly have no idea how it has happened , and I only have the one login under my name. 
I just would like the one only profile. I'm happy for the second one to be deleted completely as I am the only one who's added the 'Love Sounds Like' film.  

Thank you! Loysh

Hi @loyshis,

IMDb does not remove factual information and therefore your credit on Love Sounds Like cannot be deleted, as such you will need to merge the second name page with the sole credit into the first name page. You can find instructions on how to do this in our Name Merge guidelines

I hope this helps!

Loyshis, note that these are IMDb name pages, they’re not really your ”accounts”. You login to your IMDb account, but not to your IMDb name page. Anyone can submit info to any IMDb name page (of course assuming it's correct information and IMDb data editors accepts it).
