I have a thank you credit listed as "the producers wish to thank" in the film Paranormal Activity (2007). It appears in a big list of names. In it I am listed as Avery Battles. It used to be up on IMDb for years but mysteriously disappeared. I tried to submit it multiple times before but it was rejected requiring more proof. I have this screenshot now:

You could try to submit the credit again and include the link to this thread in the explanation field as evidence.

You can also post the reference number of your submission here so IMDb staff can check up on it.

Peter?
His name is nowhere to be found in that screengrab.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3475340/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
He has 11 special thanks credits that are in post production out of the 64 total.
He has 109 publicist credits in a scant 8 years.
I also googled his name along with all the famous persons he claims to have worked with and other than his IMDb page, I found Zero internet trace that connected him to anybody!
Someone probably actually saw the title that he is referring to and submitted the deletion.

Also his total page is suspect.

It needs an investigation.

Look at this Bio.........Avery Guerra is an indie genre film Publicist and Producer known for his work on films such as Snake Outta Compton (2018) , It Came From The Desert (2017) , Boar (2017) , Terrordactyl (2016) , Roger Corman's CobraGator (2019) , and many, many more. He has worked on films and been credited alongside name talents like Roger Corman, Jim Wynorski, Fred Olen Ray, Chris Sun, Dee Wallace, Danielle Harris, Akira Takarada, Tony Todd, Yukijiro Hotaru, Danny Trejo, etc.


I have been out here in California for 2 years. I have done some paid IMDb data entry work for many producers. But I do not insert my name on their titles. One producer has graciously offered me a production assistant credit for all my hard work for him on his next upcoming project. It will likely no be seen by many. Nikolay has given me a special thanks credit only twice. bot for this guy to rack up the amount of credits he has with such well known names is suspect. C-mon. Common sense says this body of credits are suspect.

The credit needs an "as Avery Battles" attribute. This alternate name is already acknowledged on the name page.

And he has not one credit with an "as" attribute.
Do you still want to back this guy?
He had this removed, and IMDb agreed.
You saying IMDb was wrong?

There are two credits with "as" attributes.

It is up to IMDb to approve or reject credits. I have only said how to submit it based on the available information.

You're welcome. It's approved and live now.

If any troll tries to sabotage it in the future, mention this reference number in your attempt to re-add it: #200417-113806-075000
Its explanation box contains the irrefutable proof.

Cheers.
