Report fake person on iMDb

Hey, as you can see, her name is "Maria Music"! And like the others, she uses iMDb just for Google and Instagram ranking!
She adds herself to massive Iranian movies; she isn’t an actress at all!

@Bia2​ This is not fake, some fakers added some fake credits to one of his films, but this person and his credits are legit.

@Michelle please restore this title page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9596016/

It was one of this director's films, I see it's deleted today, but like I said this person and his credits are legit, I can verify them via some festival sites etc.. One of fakers had added their fake credit to this, but you deleted name pages of the fakers anyway, so that should be cleaned now.

https://peopleoffilm.se/filmarbetare/ali-memarchi/

https://filmfreeway.com/Hezar (I can see this page had the full movie at one point)

https://www.bleckout.co/directors/ali-memarchi

EDIT: I see it's restored now, there are two remaining fakers there that needs their name pages deleted, opening a new thread with some more cleanup requests to not make this thread harder to follow: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/some-things-to-delete/64a8be7bc59d8813293bb93a

@Bia2​ He's not even a singer, these people fake that too, meaning they just stole existing things, see this article: https://peabee.substack.com/p/16-the-case-of-fake-imdb-credits

@Michelle and @Bethanny I recommend you read that article as well to see how bad the situation with fake credits is, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, it's even much worse than what this article depicts.

@mbmb As I said before I keep going to delete all these fake guys! Because I almost know everyone in Iranian cinema & theatre projects.

@Bia2​ Yes that page was cleaned, I also cleaned it further and changed its name back to undo the hijacking, so that page is fully repaired from vandalism now. (just saying it again, flooding like this would result in staff starting to not respond again because it becomes hard to follow things. I would suggest to only post when it's needed)

@mbmb​ This is correct, I actually have a hard time following now, https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13859052/still needs deleting and https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6962545/ was hijacked but is now fine? Let me know so I can proceed, after this please make a new post with any new one @Bia2 , mbmb also waits to find several of them and posts them together which is great for staff :)

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Yes, nm6962545 can stay, there was a hijacking there but fully reverted now (if a nmconst number is less then 8 digits, I tend to suspect a hijacking first, fakers usually have a more than 7 digits nmconst number)

These are remaining pages from other messages that needs to be deleted:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13859052/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12966702/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13221123/
