@Peter_pbn

How can I create a new bio if the person I want to write about has no previous pages? The guideline you sent explains how to edit an existing page but not how to create a new one from scratch. Do you know how to do it? Thank you

Usually pages are created based on a credit in a film or other production, as explained here:

Another option is to subscribe to IMDbPro.

Hi Atlasa -

 

I can see that the instructions for adding a new mini-Bio are displaying on the guide Peter referenced above with the following steps

  1. Go to that person's page.

  2. Click on the Edit page button towards the bottom.

  3. Next to the Biography option click the drop down and select Add 1 Item

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Continue.

  5. Input the new biography into the field, making sure it's in line with our Mini-Biography guidelines.

  6. Please be sure to add an author in the By: field. 

  7. Click Check these updates and correct any errors you're presented with.

Let us know if you encounter any issues with your Bio update!

  1. Press Submit.

Your submission will be reviewed by an editor and if eligible approved onto the site, you can see our current processing times here.

Thank you @Michelle . The problem is that I can't go to that person's page because it doesn't exist. How can I create a page for a person to submit his biography?
