Never able to delete a cast member

Every time I have tried to delete a cast member, I am DENIED! "Unable to Verify." Is there a secret way to do it that I'm not aware of? What criteria does IMDb use to verify and/or deny this type of correction? This is what I'm trying to do:

#210511-040301-762000

Film:  "Duds" from 1920 - tt0011139

Cast member: "Doc Phineas Kastle" - nm7169912

This guy is not in this silent film. He has nothing to do with this film. He wasn't even born when this film was made. Movie magazines from 1920 do not list his name in the credits. AFI does not list his name in the credits. 

Someone please help.

Thanks.

I deleted him for you. Considering Doc was born in 1951, it would have been hard for him to appear in a movie from 1920!

Sometimes it helps to have a big confidence rating. I'm a top contributor for years so I think they accept some things easier. 

What was your explanation for the deletion? I pointed out he wasn't born until 1951.

That he wasn't even born when the movie was made and his other credits didn't start until 1977.
