I tried to remove ICLS from the name. As noted, ICLS is the International Cinema Lighting Society, and your name guidelines are clear:

"Suffixes indicating professional affiliation, like ASC, CSA, MPSE, etc., are never included; such guild memberships can be noted in biographical trivia."

@Maya​ 

Thanks. I tried another one:

#260721-174859-205000

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0237828/

In addition there are two other names with the same suffix:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0084468/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0118731/

I guess the rejections have to do with the names being claimed, but shouldn't they still follow IMDb's rules?

@Peter_pbn​ - You're welcome! Thank you!

That's correct, they still have to follow our guidelines. 

I have re-submitted this other one on your behalf and also reported the processing error to the respective team.

As per the other two name pages, the corrections have been made as well and all changes will be live shortly.
