Name split: Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) and Finley Peter Dunne Jr. (1903-1991)

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0242850/ - "Finley Peter Dunne"

The page linked above features a hodgepodge of biographical details derived from two different people: Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) and his son Finley Peter Dunne Jr. (1903-1991). The birth and death dates match Dunne Jr., but the "other works" section includes novels written by Dunne Sr., most of them published before Dunne Jr. was born. The trivia section includes mismatched family tree information such as "Father of Finley Peter Dunne Jr." alongside "Older brother of Philip Dunne" (who lived 1908-1992).

The writing credits on the page span from 1934-1954 (the bulk of them spanning from 1934-1937); two of them have the attribute "as Finley Peter Dunne Jr." and the rest are uncredited. It is unclear whether any of these writing credits should go to Dunne Sr. Whether or not a new page needs to be created for Dunne Sr., it is clear that his biographical details do not belong on his son's IMDb page.

I'm busy with other stuff right now. Is there not a single person employed at IMDb who actually deals with this sort of thing, or is the entire system utterly dependent on unpaid volunteer labor?
