(Large) Name Merge: Sam Thomas, sound recordist with over a dozen name pages

The fourteen Sam Thomases listed below all have sound department (or camera and electrical) credits on titles from the 2010s-2020s. Sams XLIII, XLV, XLVI, XLVII, XLIX, LII, LIII & LVI all have credits for one of two 2022 TV mini-series called "Pulped: I Hate My Job" and "Pulped: Bad Tech". These name pages are almost certainly all or mostly duplicates. Sam Thomas (XIV) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5262495/ Sam Thomas (XXXIV) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11420361/ Sam Thomas (XLIII) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14160154/ Sam Thomas (XLIV) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14193769/ Sam Thomas (XLV) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14307944/ Sam Thomas (XLVI) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14751622/ Sam Thomas (XLVII) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14798020/ Sam Thomas (XLIX) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14933714/ Sam Thomas (L) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14947213/ Sam Thomas (LII) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15329973/ Sam Thomas (LIII) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15378541/ Sam Thomas (LVI) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16400626/ Sam Thomas (LVII) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16430689/ Sam Thomas (LX) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17133513/ Possibly related: Samuel Thomas (III) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3828956/ Has two sound department credits, two camera & electrical credits, and alternate name "Sam Thomas". His bio lists him as an "actor, musician and producer", with no mention of behind-the-scenes crew member work. Is this the Sam Thomas we are looking for, or could it be that those crew member credits are misattributed? This would be tedious to fix using the normal contribution process. Is there a way for an IMDb editor to do a mass edit merging all of these pages?

Hi majfoalbkeopaza, IMDb pages can be merged only one by one, and I doubt that the employees have other ways. From the point of view at the nm3828956 page, it would be tedious to fix due to the great chaos in data around the Thomas Brothers, not because of the normal IMDb contribution process. Hence, you'd better to make first steps on this only after every detail of the relative data is perfectly clear for you as contributor. Then the process of merging and possibly splitting should not be tedious. Moreover, if it will be in hand, a split of a page can be simplified with some workarounds.

Hi majfoalbkeopaza- Just as @MAthePa mentioned, the merges have to be done one by one. You are welcome to do them through the contribution form.
