Hello! We need to split the AKA name / credits from a page due to security issues that have arises from talent's legal name being up versus professional stage name. We'd like to manage the risk and not put her at a higher risk. Any ideas on how to do this? 
Thanks!!

As far as I am aware akas have to remain if they were in film credits. IMDb does not allow one person to have two different names.

Hi, claymore. While name split operations are not to be carried out for any group of personas who are one and the same, often the contrary name merge operations are not carried out to begin with for a person who has successfully masqueraded as separate personas. It just depends upon whether a contributor volunteers to merge the IMDb name entries or not, upon of course discovery of the identity relationship.

Hi Joel, But what if it isn't the same name? Could you then split the page. We're not trying to have multiple pages for the same name. Thanks!

Hi, Sammy. You'd be expected to prove such a thing.
