Duplicate IMDb listings

[Deleted]

I've been meaning to report this for quite some time but apparently, IMDb is listing some MST3K titles that already have pages on the site. And with incorrect dates to boost!

Exhibit A: Shorts, Vol. 1; There's already a page for the first batch of shorts.
Exhibit B: Radar Secret Service; Isn't that just an episode?
Exhibit C: Wild Rebels; See above.

Since I'm already an IMDb user, I could try requesting page mergers though the last time I tried that with unrelated pages, my requests were swiftly ignored.

My best guess is that on certain streaming platforms MST3k episodes wind up getting listed as MOVIES rather than episodes of series, eschewing the traditional SEASON X EPISODE X label that normally goes with being considered a TV episode, and somehow this auto-generates a new entry on IMDB. Like, I'd bet those release dates were the dates they debuted on Amazon's streaming service or something like that...

100% correct. For some absurd reason, if you buy an episode of MST3K on Amazon it shows up under your purchases as a movie and not a TV show. It's possible that IMDB automatically adds anything new that appears on Amazon as a "movie", regardless of content.
