Title delete option

Why some titles has it and some don't? What's the point if it then? I really don't like writing to imdb contact, because mostly you need 3 days to change something
And i'm not talking about released titles, even ureleased ones, titles i created
One day there is option to delete it, next day there isn't
What changes? I really don't understand this

Hi @ugnieska,

Please refer to our Title corrections guidelines:

Certain titles will not display a "Title Deletion" option. These titles have been identified as of general public interest. If there's a specific reason you believe a title like this should be removed, please reach out via our Contact Form.

This is to ensure greater protection is given to titles which are believed to be irremovable barring any mistake or errors made, hence the more stringent option of requesting a delete via the Contact Form. 

I hope this helps!

I understand this, but that should be editors choice to delete it or not, and all titles should have that option
Because at this situation not me who did mistake, but creators of the show
They announced they will release 20 episodes, so i created that, but at the last moment they decided to merge last 2 episodes and released only 19 episodes total, so i needed to delete that last episode, and there was no option of that, and this have happened not only this time, when i had to fix creators mistakes in episodes number
I actually wouldn't really mind this, but imdb contact is the worst
For almost 4 years i do this, almost all the time with imdb contact i have miserable experience
From i don't know 20-30 people who answers, only 2 or 3 are tolerable
Most of them are really clueless, doesn't know basic things about contribution, i don't understand how they can do work like that
So as much as possible i really try to avoid it

Hi @ugnieska,

We appreciate your feedback on your experience with the Contact Form. I will pass this on to the relevant team for review.

However, we won't be making any changes to the way in which titles are selected to have the delete option, as this is intended to remove the opportunity for errors being made.

Thank you for your understanding!

@ugnieska​ 

You can also merge episodes using the episode title/number option – though you may have to correct or delete the release date first so the episodes match.

@Peter_pbn​ I know that, but when it's merged it's too much to work delete unnecessary credits, better just delete it
With movies it's fine, but when it comes to the episodes, not really
