I just found this page:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6581956
It has almost nothing in it, and this is a duplicate from Disney's Jungle Book actual page :
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061852
Is it possible to get it deleted ?

Good catch!
On the apparently fake Jungle Book page, the only name listed is Dinos Karidis. Via his name page (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0439260/) I found there is also a second Pocahontas page where his name is also the only one listed: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6607780/reference (while this is the real one: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114148/reference). The same goes for Robocop: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6581880/reference (real page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/reference).Also, a lot of titles on the page for Dinos Karidis don't start with a capital letter, which also seems wrong.
I'm not sure what happened here and what is wrong and what is legit, but I sure hope a staffer will look into the submissions connected to the page for Dinos Karidis and fix what needs fixing and perhaps sent a message to the contributor of this "data".

Hi Luma  -

Thanks for reporting these duplicate titles (and thanks Marco for posting additional verifying links).  These duplicate title pages have now been merged and the incorrect credits listed for Mr. Karidis have now been removed.  Cheers!

I have recently stumbled upon Dinos Karidis as well and it is a bit sad, that those incorrect titles were already removed: last time I checked at least one case had some misplaced movie connections which were actually from RoboCop (1987) and could have been evacuated. 

Karidis situation is actually a part of a larger problem that dubbing actors other then US versions are not permitted on IMDb: people will either smuggle them somehow or shrug it off and make separate titles like Mr. Karidis or his managers did. We have at least a few thousands of such credits scattered through IMDb so at this point creating a separate section for version actors could have been very useful (especially since some local version have whole filmed sequences with actors, not just dubbed voices).

Well, Michelle did say they were merged, so perhaps the movie connection actually IS listed on the RoboCop page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/movieconnections.

I couldn't agree more. It's hard to blame people like Karidis when IMDb doesn't seem to want them around. The lack of a proper place for dubbers is - with the lack of genres like Soap Opera and Erotica - one of the biggest DATAbase problems of IMDb and one that has been pointed out time and time again for fifteen (!) years now. It just goes to show, the "I" in IMDb stands for Internet and not for International...

It would probably be good to go through all of his credits and check the validity of the titles. Some appear to have similar (but not exact) names to the ones they are replicating. Gummi Bears vs Adventures of the Gummi Bears. The main content I see on the "Gummi Bears" listing is a single credit to Dinos Karidis and a trailer link to "Adventures of the Gummi Bears".

Good catch C Park. Hopefully, a staffer will look into this.

Hi C Park -

Thanks for spotting this credit/title.  The applicable title merge and credit removal has been made and the changes should be live on the site shortly.  Thanks again!
