Does a book count as a TV series? No.
A contributor, and I suspect it is just one person, has added at least five "TV series" to the database which appear to just be books. Most of these books have been adapted as films, but not all of them, and the real film adaptations are already listed in IMDb. All of the examples I have found invo

The country "Turkey" is now TÜRKIYE since June 2022- It should be changed in IMDb database, in my opinion
"Following an official letter submitted to the United Nations by the Republic of Türkiye, the country's name has been officially changed to Türkiye at the UN." (03 June 2022) Shouldn't it be changed in IMDb database? It always hurts my eyes when placing a submission where the country must be added.

I found an AI generated profile that I think should be removed
The following profile: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16079905/ is obviously fake even at a first glance. Nearly all of the images for their films are AI generated. One of their films https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32221697/ lists many legitimate actors who are likely not aware of the film's presence.
