Repeated declines on legitimate credit corrections - need manual staff review

I'm the credited party (Charlie Drew, nm12550017) disputing incorrect Composer/Music Department credits across 8 titles, all small self-produced "Ali Jacko" music videos from 2018–2019. My name does not appear anywhere in these videos' actual on-screen end credits — it was mistakenly added, and the production company (GAMusic) has confirmed internally that this happened because someone used a "Duplicate" function on a previous title's credit list, carrying my name across to titles I had no involvement with.

I've submitted multiple Delete and Correct requests on one of these (You Are The Reason, tt10136258) and all have been declined as "Unable to verify," or are stuck in Pending well past the estimated processing date. Per your own help article ("How can I submit additional verification for a credit submission?"), the only valid evidence for a credited role is a screen capture of the on-screen credit roll - but since my name was never on-screen to begin with, no such screen capture can exist, and I'd argue the original entries were never properly verified against that standard either.

Affected titles: You Are The Reason (tt10136258), Give My Love a Brand New Name (tt10131736), I Found Love (tt10136340), Somebody To LOVE (tt10199104), Follow My Heart (tt10199126), Army Of Angles (tt10204260), Thin It OVER (tt10207952), Top Of The World (tt10208052), My Boy (tt10477588).

Recent contribution numbers for reference: #260923-232715-676000, #260923-191455-642000, #260923-104704-513000, #260922-194127-599000.

Could a staff member manually review and remove these credits across all 8 titles, rather than me resubmitting the same request title-by-title? Happy to provide further detail if needed.

Your name is listed as music composer/producer on all of these music videos except the first one (You Are The Reason - tt10136258)

Good catch, and I should clarify — that's the text typed into the YouTube description box, not the on-screen end-credit roll inside the video itself, which is what IMDb's own evidence policy is actually about ("How can I submit additional verification for a credit submission?" — screen capture of the credit roll is the only valid evidence for a credited role). My name isn't in the on-screen credits of any of these.

The description text is a separate thing, and per GAMusic (the production company), it's very likely affected by the same root cause: they told me the error came from someone using a "Duplicate" function that carried my name across from an earlier project's credit list - so the same mistake could easily have been copy-pasted into multiple video descriptions too, not just IMDb. It's the same error showing up twice, not two independent sources agreeing.

For music videos, onscreen credits are not required, these official credits from description box is what is mostly used to add credits.
You first said Duplicate function for IMDb but there is no such function in IMDb.

And these credit sections in music videos' descriptions are not "duplicated" or copy pasted either as they have differences in text in each of them, so clearly that's not true too and they are specific credits to each music video.
