Unable to merge two titles

Hi,

I noticed that 2 IMDb titles/pages needed to be merged:

* Correct/Target Page = https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9358200

* Duplicated Page to remove = https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1305619


Here is an evidence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis:_Birth_of_the_Cool

Unfortunately, I did not succeed to enter the right target title, as it is an episode of a TV show.

Can you please merge the 2 titles and tell me how I should have entered the target title, if I wanted to do it by myself (complicated when it’s an episode)?

Best regards

Hello mompart,

Hi robimars -

 

Thanks for confirming, in this instance the titles should not be merged, instead we will retain the separate titles listings.

 

As the title was first released as a standalone title in 2019, we will retain the video title listing. We will list an episode title page for "Miles Davies: Birth of the Cool", however, this should be a shell page of the original title page.

 

A shell page means that the only information that should be listed on the title page should be: a release date, a trivia item referencing that the episode is a re-release of the original film, and a Movie Connection.

 

I have now made the appropriate changes to the episode title page so that it meets our guidelines, the changes should be live on the site shortly.

 

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Hi @Fran​,

If you want to keep this IMDb page (>>> https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1305619 <<<), it’s okay, but « American Masters » has to disappear from the title, which is « Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool » only (>>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis:_Birth_of_the_Cool <<<).

Otherwise, it refers to the TV Show of the other IMDb page.

Hi @mompart​ -

The incorrect Alternate Title has now been removed.  Cheers!
