Podcast episodes are duplicated - one in season 1 and one in 'no season'

Hi,

I am trying to tidy up the IMDb page for the 'Lateral with Tom Scott' podcast, but the episodes almost all seem to be duplicated, with one copy showing as season one and another showing as 'no season'. I'm not sure how I can go about fixing this - can anyone advise please? Thanks!

It looks like an AI added all the unknown episodes, little giveways like lack of episode numbers and an entry for a trailer being added, says as much. Plus I've seen a few duplicate sets lately with UK release dates on.

What you can do is merge the episodes to each other, if the release date and title are the same, just add episode numbers to the unknown section ones, they will move over where episodes are missing and ask if you wish to merge where there's a duplicate one, tick the box and submit and they'll merge into the Season 1 episode, give it a day or two to be approved.

As for the trailer entry, you can either petition staff to delete it or retcon the entry into a future episode by changing the title and date with an explanation of what you are doing in both explanation boxes. Hope this helps but let me know if you have any questions or need help.

@Nomissimon10 : Is this a podcast you're familiar with and/or adding info on?

@Marco​ Indeed, this is a podcast I contributed to. I am not sure what they looked like after being contributed. I have stopped the contributions to the page. (Not that it makes a difference, it would not submit unless a new episode was published)
