Cleanup anime:
(the anime has lots of wrong entries, usually wrong persons; the wrong data has been flagged as error, the correct one has been added, now the wrong entries should be hidden)

Green Green (TV) (credits with "no source", 4 duplicate persons)
[done by <unknown>] Aquarian Age (TV) (credits from U.S. DVD source, 12 duplicate persons + 1 duplicate company)
Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru (6 duplicate persons due to wrong romanization based on a good kanji source)
Dash! Yonkuro (TV) (many persons in wrong name order and "romanized" by Google Translate)
[done by Shiroi Hane] Tank Knights Portriss (TV) (many persons in wrong name order and "romanized" by Google Translate)
Haibane Renmei (credits from U.S. DVD source, 18 wrong persons)
Kyuuketsuki Miyu TV (credits from U.S. DVD source, 21 wrong/duplicate persons)
Silent Möbius TV (credits from U.S. DVD source, various errors such as 6 duplicate persons, 8 wrong seiyuu assignments, 2 wrong role names, 5 wrong role priorities)

Hide obstructive kanji name of person:
(the kanji names of a person entry A at ANN are identical to those of another person B who is considered "the correct one" with sufficient evidence; the kanji names of A thus cause an unnecessary kanji name collision during contribution of kanji data and should be hidden; more explanation)

Hide wrong kanji name of person:
(the kanji names of a person entry at ANN are wrong and prevent the correct kanji to be set and be usable for further contribution; the wrong kanji should be hidden)

(all attributes of a person entry A at ANN belong to another person B, have been flagged as errors for A & added to B so that all entries at A should be hidden)

Merge persons:
(several person entries at ANN belong to the same person but all of their names are valid, such as birth names, alias names/pseudonyms etc., which is backed up by sufficient evidence; these other persons should be merged into "the correct one"; these reports would have gone into the Duplicate Persons thread but were posted separately to make their handling easier to observe as suggested by Dan42)

Yoshie ASAI + Yukari ASAI => Yoshiko ASAI (two known former stage names in Wikipedia page)
Hikari + Teruko => Runa AKIYAMA (#9161) (known birth name & pseudonym in Wikipedia page)
Rena KURIHARA (#2403) => Rena YUKIE (#13933) (known birth name in Wikipedia page)
Sampei SHIRATO (#20961) => Sanpei SHIRATO (#16250) (different romanization backed up by Wikipedia page and "known" in news under both spellings)
Akiyoshi NISHIMORI (#11542) => Akira NISHIMORI (#4459) (known alias name in Wikipedia page)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Split person:
(a person entry at ANN contains credits for more than one person and needs to be split into several ones with disambiguated names; rules by Dan42)
