I have made recently a short film and a guy from the crew is continuously adding his name in music department, producer, director. Which he is not part of from below profile.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9868161/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr3
I tried removing his name 2 times and again he is adding it. I am the producer of content and original project uploaded through my account over youtube and vimeo. Please advise how to prevent such addition of credits.

Dear Vincent and Joel,
The credit exists only for Co-director. Not for producer, Sound Designer and Music Producer as mentioned in my 1st post. So kindly advise.
Best regards

At the moment, the title page seems clean according to your wish (even though "MV Film" does not show...)
From my experience: IMDb is open to anyone to update and enrich any information, at the risk of mistaken or fraudulent entries.
I leave it to IMDb staff to state whether there is a way to block certain identified fraudulent updates

IMDB this is a real issue - we have a similar experience that needs to be addressed.
Start a new post. Commenting on old posts will go nowhere. There are here for reading reference so you can get an Idea of what kind of reply you'll get.
How can imdb collect and control data, which makes a profit for imdb, and returns NOTHING to the filmmakers? HOW, at the request of a filmmaker who's film was never released to the public (film festivals should not count as they are a useless exploits of non commercial films) how, can he/she not have the film removed from the IMDb database? How is it that imdb has never been sued for DMCA violations? I for one am on the same journey to get my unreleased films out of the imdb database and I will never stop until I die. I am in process of talking to 3 lawyers, 2 of which are very interested in suing imdb. Imdb is a pompous company run by the same type of people that so desire to be in the film industry, but have no talent to pull it off. So they sit around, collecting data from people that actually work for a living and make money off of them. IMDB is nothing but a group of pimps making money off of filmmakers.
Oh, and PLEASE NOTE IMDB: My "policy" is if somebody takes my personal information and my business information and posts it in their website, without my persmission, they are looking at one big class action lawsuit. You can bet on it. So don't waste your time copying and pasting your "stock reply" to this post, because we've all read them before. IMDb, your day is coming. You can not illegally post information in any form, without expressed permission. You have no legal right and your "terms of service" are meaningless. You are NOT a government agency and you do not serve the public with your data collection, you only serve yourself, with undisclosed profits. Again, your day is coming.

Steve I couldn't agree more. They have the most ineffective system in place for checking facts and details.
- Disputes
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of any IMDb Service, or any products or services sold or distributed by IMDb or through the IMDb Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
a. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.
b. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 304, Tumwater, WA 98051. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, IMDb will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
c. You and IMDb each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration you and IMDb each waive any right to a jury trial. You and IMDb also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
