Submission Guide: Names
Merging a Name
On merging multiple pages, submit each name merge request to the page with the lowest roman numeral. So each name page would be changed this way:
Sanjay Jadhav (IV) to Jadhav, Sanjay (I)
Sanjay Jadhav (III) to Jadhav, Sanjay (I)
Sanjay Jadhav (II) to Jadhav, Sanjay (I)
For each submission, you can remove the check box to the left of the following statement:
Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Sanjay Jadhav)'
In the explanation box, write a brief statement on why the pages are being updated. For example:
Same name on both pages.
Also, add the URL from this discussion as additional proof.
It looks like this is the only name listed on IMDb so the roman numeral to the right of the name will drop off. The updated name will eventually be displayed on IMDb this way:
Sanjay Jadhav
Give at least 1-3 days for the updates to process. As of this posting, the oldest Name Merge is April 12 so due to holiday backlogs, the process may take longer than a week. Check the Data Processing Times page for updated information.
I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any more questions.

· Unclick the check box to the left of the statement: Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Sanjay Jadhav)'.
· In the explanation box, type the following:
o This is the same person on both name pages. URL (Get Satisfaction discussion): https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/how-to-merge-4-imdb-pages-accounts-to-one-wanted-to-keep-http-www-imdb-com-name-nm2347278-ref-fn
· Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue Check these updates button.
· The next Updating Information for Sanjay Jadhav (IV) page should now be in yellow. You’ll need to acknowledge any warnings before the correction will be accepted. In this case, Are you sure you want to merge this person with Jadhav, Sanjay (I)?
Click the check box to the left of the statement:
Warning understood, go ahead anyway.
· At the bottom of the page, click the blue Re-check these updates button.
· The next Update page should now be green. Click the blue Submit these updates at the top or bottom of the Update page.
· Give at least 2-3 days (or more) for the submission to be processed.
Repeat the same steps for the other two name pages.
