Movies duplicated

Hello,

These 2 movies are duplicated. The second one doesn't exist anymore in TMDB : http://www.themoviedb.org/talk/50d5db78760ee30a8921f242
There is only on movie in TMDB : https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=live+at+pompeii
It's the same thing in IMDB : http://www.imdb.com/find?q=live+at+pompeii&s=all

So I suggest to delete the second page in order to avoid any confusion, more there is no artworks on this movie.

Best regards

These are 2 separate releases.
If you look at the wiki page and scroll down to the track listing, you can see for yourself that there is a 1972 version and a 2003 Directors Cut version.
It seems that TMDB has got it wrong and needs to fix it on their end. They are showing the cover and track listing of the 2003 version, but have it listed as the 1972 version.
If you want to see this fixed, you should open a thread on their forums as we don't keep our own DB, and get all of out info from TMDB, TVDB, IMDB, and Musicbrainz.
This means they had it right at one point when it populated our DB, then changed it for some reason.

TMDb doesn't allow different cuts of the same movie, that's why the directors cut was deleted. (Did you see that Martijn reported it :)). The year shown (1972) isn't the version but the year it was initially released.

Even if TMDb allowed the directors cut it wouldn't fix the issue as there's no way to restore deleted entries - the movie would have to be re-added and there would still be an orphaned entry on fanart.tv.
