Credits posted to IMDB via Withoutabox -- I'd like them removed...

In the past, to be listed on IMDB a project actually had to have aired or screened at a film festival. I had a project that was submitted through WOAB that never got in to festivals, yet still showed up in my credits. I don't recall asking for it to be listed, and I'd like it removed. 

I've already tried to contact IMDB help to get this done, and got no response. 

Thanks!

What about sharing the title or a URL, so people could be in a position to help you...

Are you able to remove a title from someone's credits?

Hi, bainst. Every IMDb registered user can submit edits to any filmography, and these changes will be approved by IMDb data editors, provided that the content does not contradict a source believed to be more credible.

As for your main concern, bainst; a movie being screened publicly or aired on television is not the only criterion for what constitutes "publication". Material uploaded to, for examples, Vimeo, Dailymotion and YouTube is eligible in terms of confirmation and if enough is known about the production details of the piece. WAB might be a little different since it is somewhat native (like demo reels are) to IMDb, but that seems doubtful. So, since you're credited in a published work, it may be against IMDb policy for information about your role in the WAB item to be removed from the database/website.

Hi bainst,

Have you got a link to the title in question?

Bainst, I think an IMDb link would be more useful if you are willing to have it removed from it...

I guess this has nothing to do with WAB.

Jeorj, you'd be incorrect in your guess. The information on the IMDB page is absolutely pulled from WAB. Thank you for your very helpful input, though.

Hi bainst -

Thanks for posting the links.  Since the title has streamed online, this is considered a valid release and it will need to remain listed on the site.  Cheers!

I've got some home videos online to add to my CV, as well, then.
