I deleted my second account and added the credit DEVIANT to my original account, but on Deviant it shows two of my names as Alison Midstokke! I deleted the second account and it is still showing up under Deviant.
I contacted the director and he is going to try to contact IMDb to see what he can do.

Alison: Are all the credits on both the pages of Alison MIdstokke (I) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3487431/, and Alison Midstokke (II) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm8730371/, yours, with nobody else's information being on those pages? If so, the way to solve the problem would be to merge the two names. If not, please let us know what is there that is not yours.

Hello, Yes they are both mine! I would like to merge Alison Midstokke (ll) to my original account which is Alison Midstokke (l) and I have access to my original account. Do I click on account (ll) and merge it to account (l)? Will both credits, HER and Deviant be merged over?
Thank you!

Alison: Here is how to do the merge. Go to the page of Alison Midstokke (II) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm8730371/ and click "Edit page".
On the next screen, on the Name Correction or Merge line, select "Add correction". Scroll down and click "Continue".
On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter the corrected name. Enter it as:
Midstokke, Alison (I)
Un-check the box labeled "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Alison Midstokke)'"; it's not relevant to this situation.
In the Explanation box, enter something like "I am Alison Midstokke, and my credits have been split between the pages of Alison Midstokke (I) and (II). All credits on both pages are mine, and so these pages need to be merged." Click "Check these updates".
On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "You are about to merge two separate name pages into one. Are you sure you want to merge this person with Midstokke, Alison (I)? ..." That's what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates".
On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".
Allow a few days for the correction to go through. If there are still any problems once the pages have been merged into one, please come back here and post again, and the contributors here will try to advise you.
Good luck!
