Difficulty merging duplicate titles

I have submitted a "merge titles" change multiple times, but the titles are not being merged. There are two titles being shown for Evil Awakes (2019). These two titles need to be merged into one.

Evil Awakes/I (2019): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11079672/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
Evil Awakes (2019): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11079654/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

These are the same two films and need to be merged into just one title: Evil Awakes (2019).

Can you please help me with this. The standard merger request does not seem to be working.

Thank you in advance!

Ideally, you needed to start the submission from the first title [Evil Awakes/I (2019)].
When you get to the Title Correction form, you would type the title this way.

Evil Awakes (2019)

If you were able to submit the title correction, please post the 18-digit reference number of the submission so an IMDb representative can review the update and respond.

The other issue is that title merges do not show on
https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history
where we can see statuses, do not get a Track Contribution button on
https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history
and that they take a longer time than other data types.

Right now the backlog is to 4Oct, with 48 pending.
Title Merges Platinum 4 October 2019 48
https://contribute.imdb.com/times

I don't know why this is labeled Platinum

Will be processed on the first business day after submission.

because I don't think I've ever had one processed that quickly. But I'm usually submitting for older titles, not like your 2019 pair.

Honestly, I don't know why there are two listings. I only submitted the project once. I guess there could have been a glitch of some sort, but hopefully it is resolved soon. Thank you!
