Names with no credits

There are names (people) on IMDb that have no credits. I think one of the causes may be that sometimes names get created when new credits are added even when the credits are rejected.

I found some names that have been empty for a while (so are clearly not just waiting for processing). I couldn't find the specific way to contact IMDb support to get them deleted, so I'm posting them here. Can someone please delete them? Is there a better place to report this?

As an additional question, how does the numbering system work when people have been deleted? For example, if there were a John Smith (I), John Smith (II) and John Smith (III), then I and III got deleted and someone made a new John Smith, would the new John Smith become I (because it's the next available number), III (because it's the next available number after the existing John Smith with the highest number) or IV (because it's the next available number after all the John Smiths that have ever existed)?

Hi Matt -

Concerning the empty pages, the removals will need to be done manually by staff.  The three pages you reported have now been removed form the site.

Please note that when a page with a roman numeral is removed form the site, in time our system will automatically adjust the existing numerals to fill in the blank spot
.
So say we have listed:

John Smith (I)
John Smith (II)
John Smith (III)
John Smith (IV)

If one of the name pages  has been removed form the site (John Smith (I), John Smith (II), John Smith (III), and John Smith (IV)), our system will in time adjust the current numerals on the pages down to:

John Smith (I)
John Smith (II) - previously John Smith (III)
John Smith (III) - previously John Smith (IV)

Also noting that anytime there is an existing  gap in numerals:

John Smith (I)
John Smith (II)
John Smith (III)
John Smith (VII)

A new individual wanting to add their credits to a new page under the same name should start at the very end of the numeral order already listed (in this case "John Smith (VIII)"), and should not claim an empty numerical spot (ie. John Smith (IV), John Smith (V), John Smith (VI))
