Solved

I created a fake movie as a joke I want my name removed from it

Hey, I added a fake movie called The Eric Movie (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt13581572/?ref_=tt_rvi_i_1) to IMDb a while ago just as a joke, but it’s not a real project. I’d like to have it and my name taken down since it doesn’t belong there. I’m also not a director or cinematographer im a musician. This is my IMDb page (https://m.imdb.com/name/nm12117892/?ref_=tt_ov_2_1) Thanks for the help! Caleb

Hi Fran,

Thanks for getting back to me. I completely agree with IMDb's goal to be the most accurate, trustworthy, and reliable source of entertainment information!

That is exactly why I am requesting this deletion. As I mentioned in my original post, the entry for 'The Eric Movie' is not correct or factual. It is a completely fake entry for a project that does not exist.

Leaving a fake movie and false credits on my page goes against your policy of maintaining accurate records. Because this information is entirely fabricated, could you please advise on how to proceed with deleting this non-existent title so we can keep IMDb's database accurate?

Thank you,

Caleb

@Maya- I appreciate your response, but I need to clarify something critical: this entry is NOT factual information. It is a fabricated title that I created as a joke and does not represent any real project. 

By your own policy, IMDb maintains accurate records. A fake movie entry directly violates that standard. I am requesting the deletion of this false information, not the alteration of correct data.

I am a musician (truleeko), not a filmmaker. This false credit misrepresents my professional identity and needs to be removed immediately.

Please escalate this to a supervisor who can actually review the facts of this case.

Thank you,

Caleb

To IMDb Support, I am writing to formally demand the immediate deletion of the title 'The Eric Movie' (tt13581572) and the removal of my name, Caleb Abdul Rahman, from this entry. As stated in previous correspondence which has gone ignored for 22 days, this project is entirely fabricated and does not exist. By refusing to remove this fake entry, IMDb is actively violating its own core policy of maintaining accurate and reliable entertainment records.  Furthermore, I am a musician, not a cinematographer or director. Keeping this false information linked to my identity is a misrepresentation of my professional brand. Please rectify this immediately to ensure your database remains factual.
