Can you post the 18-digit reference number of the submission so an IMDb representative can review the update?
The steps below are a general process of how a name merge is submitted.
Start the update by going to the name page with the higher Roman numeral (IV) and clicking the yellow Edit page button.
On the next page [Updating Information for David Bryant (IV)], go to Name Correction or Merge. To the right of the category, click the drop-down menu and change the item from No change to Add correction.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the blue Continue button.
On the next Updating Information... page is the Name Correction or Merge form. Type the name in the form this way:
Bryant, David (II)
Uncheck the box to the left of the following statement:
Click the blue Re-check these updates button.
On the next Updating Information... page, acknowledge the following yellow warning message:
Click the checkbox to the left of the following statement:
Warning understood, go ahead anyway.
Click the Re-check these updates button.
The next page should now be in green and ready to be submitted. Click the blue Submit these updates button.
Give at least 2-3 days for processing.
I hope this helps. Please write back if you need any more assistance.
