Hi,
A test started failing. Specifically, we test Bruce Willis for a series of Known-As values. But suddenly the property is blank/null. Did something change?

Hi Mike,
Looks like those values were removed from our DB: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/62-bruce-willis/changes
Cheers.

Well that certainly sucks. Shame on me for expecting his aliases to not change. :P

Heh, one wonders if 2 of the values should be restored... but regardless of that, if I add the ability to lock aka's for people and we locked an entry you could make that expectation. But as it stands right now, the value(s) can change at any time.

I understand an alternative name as be credited in movies so if there are different names used in movies from one actor/actress, but I didn't know that legal names which never show up as a credit role should stay so I removed them. I never saw a credit with a legal name but if this is wanted here I'll not delete them

AKA's can be helpful for searching, so alternative names that our users might use to find the person should stay.
