How do I remove my name and credits entirely? The name birthday and sign are mine, however I was never associated with the titles. This was apparently done as a cruel prank, and I really would like it removed completely . Is it possible, as I would have no credits with the titles? I have been able to get some information removed, but as it is causing problems in my professional life, and is false information, I would like the actor page to be removed.

Thank you all so much!!!!!
Jodi,
It would be remiss of me not to point out another problem - and it is sadly one I cannot solve...but someone will spot it and mention it eventually, best it is me.
When I Google your name, this is what I get:
Your credits, DOB and POB still show in the Google stub. I have no idea if this will change now the IMDb page has changed, or were this summary of the page is held. My hope is that now that your page is blank, that this will vanish, but I really doubt that.
I hope others here have suggestions/input....because for anyone Googling you, the same information exists on Google even if IMDb have blanked you.

Jodi,
Another user prompted Google to rescan your page for their results page. If you Google for your name now, this information is all gone, so the primary and secondary problems are both resolved!

Just to be on the safe side, I checked the Internet Archive, Yahoo search and Bing.
The Internet Archive does not have any record.
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1999854/
Yahoo still shows the offending text.
https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AhBRQ3sRr0o3hYWCFZ_zpOabvZx4?p=%22Jodi+Brook%22&toggle=1&am...
Bing still shows the offending text.
http://www.bing.com/search?q=jodi+brook&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=jodi+brook&sc=8-10&sp=...
I'm not certain how to recommend a rescan by Yahoo and Bing. Eventually the offending text will disappear from these search engines. It's good news that the Internet Archive does not have any record, since this means that no long term archive has been kept of the results.

Jodi,
Just did one final series of searches for your name on Google, Bing and Yahoo.
For all of them the IMDb page is the top result, but the text shown from that page does not show the credits on any of the search engines, instead they all basically show this:
Like I said before, if you ever do a credited acting role, then the two uncredited roles that are hidden (not gone) may show up again...so you will need to say if this is a possibility or not - but if you are not in the business then I guess the risk is low...
So...all solved!

bob,
Unfortunately the celebration is premature.
This Google search shows multiple instances on multiple website of the offending text.
https://www.google.com/#q=%22Jodi+Brook%22+girls+gone+wild
The first link is for IMDb, which no longer has Jodi's name listed.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0355485/fullcredits/
I will submit another request to Google to rescan the web pages listed in this search.
= = =
Many of the websites listed still have the offending text; other pages no longer exist. Some websites use IMDb as the source. It is unclear how often or whether these websites update their information.

I've submitted a request to Google to rescan the web pages referenced in
the search with the offending text. I also referenced this thread in
the request.
Unfortunately the celebration is premature.
Like Jodi said - we're moving i the right direction.....thanks Dan

I would say though that there is no real reason that a colleague in the office would Google Jodi's name and the GGW title together, and even if they did, with all the birth date etc now gone, there is nothing to make people think it is the same Jody Brook, so I think that 99% of her problems regarding this are gone now.
So can I do the dancing thing again?

Keeping the Doctor Who theme going forward:
Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate...

I present two facts and I am not suggesting these are in any way connected.....
Fact 1: Jodi Brook wants the films listed on her IMDb page to be removed.
Fact 2: These are the films currently listed on her IMDb page:
Since i am currently watching season 1 of House of Cards, I think my appropriate response to the thoughts going through your head right now would be "you might very well think that - I couldn't possibly comment"....

If they have a film credit for a person named Jodi Brook, I don't know, I do know however that is my birthday showing. I have no film credits. If there was a Jodi brook involved in these two films born on the same day as me and in the same area, I would be astounded. I have been trying to get the items removed for years and was able to get some personal attributes removed but the films always remained. I think someone placed it up as a childish prank, but it is affecting my professional life, and I would really appreciate not having to explain it when brought into my work environment.
Thank you!
Vincent, Champion
I don't work for IMDB, I'm just a user like you. Edits can be submitted by anyone, IMDB moderates them but changes and especially removal are generally going to require some form of evidence before they go through.
Until that happens, all I can suggest is if someone is silly enough to ask you about it simply tell them it is a different person with the same name. There are quite a few Jodi Brook's that show up on google; someone would have to be daft to assume the first one is automatically you.

A dirty old man who is often in contact with me, did just point out that in the Girls Gone Wild and Caught on Tape series, the norm would be to have no credits or to have just a first name and name of college or something like that.
So whether it is a joke or if Jodi just got recognized, I'm not sure - it would seem odd that she would get recognized if more than one thing....but then it also seems unlikely that two such roles would be correctly put against the same person "correctly"...I mean properly credited people usually end up with a (I), (III) and (IV) version of their work...
I suspect this is a prank - particularly if Jodi is right about there being other similar credits which she did get removed.
I'm not sure how much vision staff have of such things, but I would be curious if only one IMDb account was responsible for adding these titles and creating the name page for Jodi - that would suggest that someone set out with that as their goal and, given the nature of the work, I doubt Jodi would have done that even if the work was genuine....

The biggest problem is the name and birthdate so people see they match and I get questioned. It hasn't been so much of a problem until recently because I changed positions. It is also the top thing to pop up when you google search my name.
Just seems a really spiteful thing can't imagine whom I irked so severely they took the time to do it.
Thanks for all your advice I will keep trying.

At the very least if they won't delete the credits, they should go in as uncredited roles (since they were not on-screen)
Which would end up making them not visible anyway until such time as you actually got a real on-screen credit (if ever)

I discovered it many years ago doing a random google search of my name, I can't recall why at the moment. But immediately asked for it to be changed and while they removed some of the information, the "films" remained.
I wouldn't care so much about it and could easily attribute it to someone else if the birthdate didn't match, but as Brooks is very common and there are others Brook is not.
bluesmanSF, Champion
But, perhaps, the key here comes from you...
If you keep submitting it as simply a request to delete, you'll just keep getting rejected until they begin simply ignoring your requests. But, if you acknowledge that the page is yours, that the bio matches you and maybe even provide documentation, like a scan of your ID that shows the birth date is yours and any documentation you can find that would show where you're from...you could then submit to correct the data (which is much easier to get than a request to simply delete with no or little reason given) by "correcting" it to apply to a different Jodi Brook. Then, when those credits shift to that other Jodi's page, your page will be empty of credits and would eventually be closed out. That would, at least, make it so the IMDb entry does not belong to the Jodi with your birth date and other bio items.
I am not finding any way to locate the on screen credits. I also think it's a long-shot that the Stupid Behavior title had any cast credited at all...It would be odd that the Jodi credit was the only cast credited, especially as described with such a generic role, over even any host, to be the sole credited person.
Vincent, Champion
Jod(y) and Brook(s) produce much longer lists....
What I would find amusing is if it was the Australian Jodi Brook during her "wild teens" before she became a youth minister:

But than my humor tends to run a little dark and I can't find her birthdate online so...
