Hello, I tried to solve this problem but I keep getting declined. I had a merge gone wrong, to say the least.
As of now, I have my old name and my stage name repeated on a few credits. My shorts look like they've been be produced and directed by two alter egos: <Old name> + <Stage Name as Old Name>. And it looks unprofessional. Also, it does not reflect what it shown on the credits for each of the short films. So, as the credits for the short films were under my <Old Name>, please remove the <Stage Name as Old Name> and leave the one that was officially on the credits; which again, is the <Old Name>. I'm at the point of frustration where I don't care if I don't have the credits from my previous work under my stage name.
And while you are at it, since I won't have anything credited "as <Old Name>", please remove the alternate name. It'll just confuse people.
Reference #190925-190533-678000
In the explanation section of the contribution, I posted a link (Dropbox) for each screenshot of the credits as proof. As I've been doing for the past few weeks and getting declined.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Liquid011 -
In order for our staff to take a look, can you post the links to the two name pages that currently belong to you?
Can you also clarify which credits are listed as duplicates and confirm what exact name you were credited under on-screen for those titles?

Thank you Michelle, the contribution was finally approved, but I just noticed I still have one of the "writer" credit repeated. I forgot to add that one to the previous contribution. This is the new reference number: #190926-173406-605000. I put a link to the screenshot as well.
Stage name: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7928762/?ref_=rvi_nm
Old name: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10985816/?ref_=tt_ov_wr
Also, in the <Old Name>, you can see some of the acting credits, except the very first one, (which I was credited with my Old Name) have the "As Stage Name". I tried to correct those acting credits by changing it back to the <Stage Name>, which is how it was in the first place, but I kept getting declined. As I didn't want to lose those acting credits, the ones credited under my <Stage Name> at least, I had to add them again to my <Stage Name> profile. So now both <Old Name> and <Stage Name> have acting credits for the same characters.
Basically, the only acting credit in <Old Name> should be the very first one, the rest should be deleted as they're already credited to <Stage Name>. Also, the alternate name on both profiles should be removed as no single credit should end up with "as...".
Thank you for your time.
