Low resolution screenshot used as primary images need to be deleted

Low-resolution screenshots used as primary images need to be deleted. I am aware that once an image becomes a primary image, it is hard to be deleted regardless if they are Low resolution screenshots or not. I requested these images to be deleted long ago since he is directly linked with my friends here. Two artists tagged in these screenshots look like mogoloids on their profile photos. Furthermore, the artist whose music videos are on IMDb is now aware that he is in this database. He is currently completing an album and will see with his publicists how to approach IMDb, once they are done. He did ask me to have all these screenshot removed, especially the one that became another person's profile photo. Please note that the person who added the screenshots of that individual is either the competion trying to sabotage ones image or someone who is manic and cannot stop uploading screenshots without having judgement on the quality of the image.  #210321-193138-644802 #210321-192952-497402 #210321-192920-766402 #210321-192859-514102 #210321-192840-830702 #210321-192804-355702#210321-192738-304702

Hi randy_alto -   I reviewed your requests to remove the images and can confirm that they were not approved because the image quality is acceptable as per our current quality criteria as outlined in our guidelines.

Yes, and poor quality and resolution are on the criteria, and they all pixel up. Especially #210321-192920-766402  Screenshots are not Still frames. There are two Wikipedia articles about one and the other. Still frames made out of screenshots are bound to be pixeled up and of low quality. This is clearly made by someone who paused a YouTube video, not a proper video capture with the proper equipment as per explained in the Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_frame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot

Hi, ACT_1. Why are you shoehorning into this thread your rhetorical and possibly-sarcastic questions about film/video frames uploaded as images that cannot automatically crop meaningfully in thumbnail image form? Why won't you simply create a new thread about how frustrated you are about specific IMDb name page thumbnail images? Also, I sincerely doubt that you by now still don't know that there are some unclaimed name pages that have images in their respective galleries, even in the profile picture slot. C'mon! Let's be serious please.

Michelle, I understand the rules of IMDb, and respect your devotion to them. But this a poor depiction of two men. I must say I want a serious conversation, but Act_1 really made me laugh with this one.  Victor Adamson  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0011535/ Which one is Victor Adamson ?? Now imagine how Mr. Adamson would feel if he was alive and saw that his profile was horse's face...  In my case is a badly paused screenshot to represent the thumbnail. All pixelated, some more than others.  On their profile, both guys who are performing a song have their mouths wide open and look completely ridiculous. One of them is so bad it's like when you pause a video of your friend find his worse facial expression and send it to him as a joke. Anyways I made my point. No biggie. Hope everyone had a nice day.

Yes, I have another case of an acquaintance being tagged in a low-resolution image.  #210331-035534-085202 Michelle when you guided me to the "image guideline". We do not allow scans or copies with the following: Noticeable pixelation or noiseAll the reference numbers do fall in this category. It's just that they became primary images hence they don't delete immediately.  While this last is not in the guideline, they're bad photos of individuals, who have done no wrong to IMDb.
