Trying to get an incorrect film credit removed

I found an incorrect film credit on a page I frequent.  There are multiple actors with the same name.  I went in and requested this incorrect film credit be removed.  I gave the explanation as well as directing IMDB to the movie URL, and a picture of the actor in the movie which isn't the same one on the IMDB page (they look nothing alike).  It was rejected.  Not sure what else to do to convince them.  Help!

Hi maggdoodle_01-

If this is the incorrect person listed, instead of removing, you can move/correct the credit.

For further information, you can review our following Help Guide and look under question #3.

Cheers!

@Maya​ Problems are that credit is on the wrong page.  As their are a significant number of people with the same name (and most have no pictures or credits listed) it's impossible to figure out where to send the information.  The fact is that it is an obvious mistake.  When you see the screenshot of the one in the movie it is obvious it is not the same one as the IMDB page I'm trying to fix.

@Maya​ I tried that.  There are countless actors with the same name.  I cannot "move" the credit to the other actor as nobody knows who they are other than the name in the credits and the face in the movie.  Cannot find a page and the majority of the pages (with the same name) have no pictures or credits to identify them.  Cannot "correct" because putting the actors name simply puts the same name of the multiple actors in play.  I'm guessing that may be part of how this credit got placed on the wrong actor with that name in the first place.

@maggdoodle_01​ - After further reviewing, this credit was moved to a new page and the changes will be live shortly.

@Maya​ I very much appreciate your help.  A friend was also trying to correct/move and I suspect she had better success than me.  I really appreciate the time and information you gave me!
