Wrong credits have not been deleted

I manage the imdb page for actor William Windom. There have been a series of voice over credits added to his CV and they are incorrect. I have tried to delete them at least twice, to no avail. How do I get them removed permanently?

Do you think the credits might belong to someone else with the same name?

If you identify the credits here, someone may be able to help research or edit them.

I assume that the two credits you are talking about are: Armies of Exigo and RTX Red Rock 

Is it any chance that these are valid credits? William was still alive when these video games were released? This site shows that a William Windom is credited, though it's hard to tell if these are using the video game credits or by looking at sources like IMDb.

Hi Adrian,

No, those are correct as I have confirmed them myself by hearing Bill in those games. These are the following wrong credits as I've watched all of these and I have not seen nor heard Bill Windom nor did he list it on his own CV which is in his autobiography.

Once  Upon  A Forest as a group of Birds

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (1964). He was not the voice of Bumble, that was a bear.

Home Alone as a police officer. He was in 3 John Hughes films, not this one.

The Great Mouse Detective

The Black Cauldron

Pink Panther & Son. He was not in the episode Panky's Pet. I listed the correct episode.

The Yellow Rose. He was not in the episode Villa's Gold.

The Girl With Something Extra. No Benefit of Doubt. His character is not in this episode.

@forthehorde,

Thanks. Yes those are Bill as I've confirmed them myself. I just put up a list of the credits that do not belong to him. What surprises me is they're even listed as uncredited so I don't know how they were allowed to be added. I have problems adding some of his appearances .

It seems like the uncredited credits should have been removed easily. Also, he's uncredited as a voice actor in a couple features (though without the correct voice attribute). 

Generally, in cases like this, the credits belong to another person with the same name, but that does not look like this is the case.

At this point, all I can say is post your submission numbers and wait for an IMDb staffer to reply.

Hi tvnutt -

I have reviewed the filmography credits you reported and removed them, with the exception of "The Girl With Something Extra"/No Benefit of Doubt". 

Can you confirm if Mr. Windom was credited on-screen for this episode?  Or was he neither credited nor appeared?

@Michelle Hi MIchelle, yes I can confirm he was neither credited or did Mr. Windom appear in this episode. Only the other two episodes on his CV.

Hi tvnutt -

Thanks for confirming, the credit has been removed and the change should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!
