Hello - 

New Bio submission (#180505-015750-981000) for my actor client seems to be taking an exceptionally long time. I am very familiar with IMDb processing times, however, I have never experienced this long a wait. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3662108/ 

Any way to ETA when it will be published?

Thank you!

lisray,

As you've found out from the Data Processing Times page, there is a major backlog for Bio: Mini-Biography types, with the oldest item listed on April 18th. So any submission after that date has not been processed. 

There is no need to resubmit the item, which may delay the update even longer. You'll just need to wait longer than usual for processing. 

I hope this helps. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi lisray -

I reviewed your mini-Bio submissions and can confirm that it is still pending review.  As GMJ mentioned above, we are currently working through a large backlog; please keep your eye on the linked Data Processing Times above to determine when your submission will be reviewed.  Thanks for your patience!

Thank you Michelle. In all my years as a contributor for IMDb, this is the longest time it's ever taken to process a Bio. I see that the oldest submission date you are now up to is May 4th. I made my submission on May 5th, so I am hoping it will be up by the end of this week. Thank you.
