However, the non-existant Carlos Don Dunaway will remain in the database forever. I assume a whole bunch of incorrect names exist in the online database. This allows for propagation of errors. If you make a new entry to the database, you can select the wrong entry. Everybody can make a mistake. So if we can get rid of the incorrect ones, we can avoid making it worse.

You can remove actors from your local database who are not linked to any of your profiles. Tools->Options->Utilities->Repair DVD Profiler Database and leave "Remove unused cast and crew members" checked.

They only exist in the online DB because at least one profile contains that name. Once all the profiles are updated to the correct name, the incorrect one should disappear.

I don't think so - like jmbox, I also think that any name only exist in the online database because at least one profile contains that name. Once all the profiles are updated to the correct name, the incorrect one will have vanished.

The CLT is a fun tool to check up on the thoroughly horrendous state of a rather large part of our database, though. Just for a laugh, have a look at what movies someone like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart apparently worked on (439 profiles, yet he died in 1791). If our database is to be believed, Mr. Mozart apparently was the composer of the original score for films like 'The Spy Who Loved Me', 'There's Something About Mary', 'Alien' and 'The Big Lebowski', not to mention the sound re-recording mixer on 'Raising Helen'...
