Winston Churchill page is willfully not factual

There are two name-pages on IMDb:
  1. Winston Churchill (I) (1874–1965), the grandfather of Winston Churchill (IV), Celia SandysArabella Churchill, and Nicholas Soames:;

  2. The grandson of the above mentioned Churchill (I), 
    Winston Churchill (IV) (1940–2010):.
  • I spent many hours to check all the titles from both pages. Some titles are correct mentioning both of them credited in one and the same production: Churchill (I) as himself "archive footage", and Churchill (IV) as himself. But on the grandson's page, all the credits in "archive footage" section are wrong -- they actually belong to Churchill (I):

6 related submissions have met those 6 shameful declines:

CASE 1: #190915-163406-896000

The supplied link https://youtu.be/x-CrNlilZho?t=6037 points to the archive footage of Churchill (I), and there is no Churchill (IV) filmed in the whole movie if they'd try to check from the beginning till the end.

CASE 2: #190915-161816-910000

The supplied link https://youtu.be/-dvqCN3kpuI?t=1621 points to the archive footage of Churchill (I), and there is no Churchill (IV) filmed in the whole movie if they'd try to check from the beginning till the end.

CASE 3-6: 
#190915-160841-405000

#190915-160708-896000

#190915-160602-201000

#190915-160457-000000


The series released in 1949, when Churchill (IV) was 9 years old, and the archive footages taken earlier for sure. There is only one Winston Churchill credited. It is beyond common sense to expect the only person named Winston Churchill for archive footage from World War II is not Churchill (I) but his grandson. Nonsense.
Did they additionally need a proof link from me? -- No! (see the CASE 1-2 above)

All the above is not an additional information, those data are initially submitted and is enough for right decision.

The only submission that might require additional data is the next one:
#190915-160024-710000 which is also declined.
Here is additionally the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ghOrZF48VM
There are two granddaughters filmed, but no their brother -- Winston Churchill (IV).

Thanks MAthePA, this is very clearly a bad mistake on our part. I've resubmitted the changes and raised this internally to prevent this from happening again.

Thanks,
Will
