Hi Rodrigo,
The 'alternate names' information on a filmography page is meant to include every instance of a person's name. This information is mostly derived from on-screen credits and may therefore include spelling variations due to actual typographical errors in films' main or end titles. This is also done so that anyone searching for a name which appears in the on-screen credits of a film will be directed to the page belonging to the correct person, even if the on-screen credits feature a different spelling.
We believe the data listed in the 'alternate names' section of your page is accurate. Since it's our policy never to remove or alter factual information, we cannot delete it. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Please rest assured, you're not being singled out; the majority of people listed in the database who have ever used or have been known under an alternate name (no matter how facetiously or infrequently or how long ago) or have been miscredited due to a typo during their career have similar listings.
See, for example:
http://imdb.com/name/nm0000136/
http://imdb.com/name/nm0000229/
http://imdb.com/name/nm0000245/
For the sake of accuracy and consistency we must apply the same rules to all the
names/credits stored in the database.
Thank you for your understanding.
