Need to combine credits

My name is Thom Flora and I've been a professional background singer in Nashville TN from the late 70's until now. Currently my Credits are spread out among searches for "Thomas Flora", "Tom Flora" and "Thom Flora". Each of these results pages have a piece, but not all, of what should be my combined credits (under Thom Flora, if possible). Is there any way to aggregate all my credits on one page? Thanks in advance for whatever you can do.

Hi Thom,

AllMusic has my credits assigned to multiple people or different names. How do I combine them?

Artists who have recorded under different names or who are credited differently across different liner notes may be attributed to different AllMusic pages. To get them properly combined, please follow the information on the Submit Corrections links available in the sidebar on the artist page. These corrections will be sent to our data provider TiVo who are the ones who can make the corrections for us.

Please be as detailed as possible to aid the data team in combining the credits where appropriate.

An example would be: "My name is Joe Smith and I am an oboe player. I am sometimes listed in the liner notes as Joseph Smith. The database has my credits split across the following pages: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/joe-smith-MN0000123456 and https://www.allmusic.com/artist/joseph-smith-MN0000999999 

I would prefer these credits to be listed under Joe Smith (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/joe-smith-MN0000123456).

The credits that should be listed under Joe Smith are:
https://www.allmusic.com/album/love-songs-mw0006060812 (Oboe, Clarinet)
https://www.allmusic.com/album/more-love-songs-mw000042069 (Oboe)
https://www.allmusic.com/album/even-more-songs-mw0005555555 (Oboe, Handclaps)

Once those credits are combined, the page for Joseph Smith (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/joseph-smith-MN0000999999) can be deleted."

It's been 20 days or so and I'm just wondering if there's a ballpark number of time before they get around to combining my credits. I followed all the steps in your previous post (thank God for those).

Hey Thom.

Unfortunately we don't really have a good window into their work queue or what their priorities are. We do know from experience in the past it can take longer than you might think.

Thanks Zac, I really appreciate your candor. I will now adopt a watched-pot-never-boils attitude and let it be a surprise when it happens. And thanks for your quick response.
