ANSWERED: How To Delete An Episode


Hello,

I've been working on the IMDB page of For the Record with Greta.

There was originally an episode scheduled for 1/20, but it was canceled due to the Presidential Inauguration coverage.

How do I go about deleting this episode?

reply

It's usually easier & faster to merge with an existing episode rather than just deleting them. That should be OK for this series as Greta is the only credit on them.

But then you will have a gap in the episode numbers and when it's gone, you'll have to change Episode #1.11 to be Episode #1.10. Then, when Episode #1.11 has gone you can changes Episode #1.12 to be Episode #1.11 and so on

Thanks, Steve. I figured I could go about the roundabout way, but I thought there might be a direct way to delete. Regardless, the future episodes will still need to be renumbered anyway, so it's not much of a difference.

Merging is the most direct way. If you request an IMDb staff member to delete it, that can take quite a bit longer than a simple merge request.

The thing that will take the time is waiting for each episode to be deleted / renumbered and shuffling them all along to close up the gap

I don't know of any faster way of doing that
