Merging a Read Only record

This person has two records, and the lesser quality one is locked as Read Only, and thus can't be merged away.

 

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LTPN-96N (Editable, 11 sources)

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KL1C-4KH (Read Only, no sources)

 

Does anyone have the power to merge these two records?

    Nick

    .

    I just took a look ...

    .

    FYI

    .

    The most likely reason that "Merle JOHNSON" ( KL1C-4KH ) is a "Read-Only" record is that he is Married to the (Famous) Actress "Suzanne PLESHETTE" ( L4BT-C7D ).

    .

    Funny thing is that, neither, "Suzanne PLESHETTE" ( L4BT-C7D ); or, another Spouse / Husband of hers, the (Famous) Actor "Troy DONAHUE" ( LTPN-96N ) [ who you are trying to "Merge"/'Combine" with ], are NOT "Read-Only", quite odd.

    .

    You will need to submit a 'Support' case to 'FamilySearch'; and, request that that "Read-Only" status for "Merle JOHNSON" ( KL1C-4KH ), be "Removed".

    .

    As an aside ...

    .

    By the way ...

    .

    We have been asked not to work on "Famous" People UNLESS we are "Related" to them.

    .

    So, I hope that you can show that you are "Related" to the aforementioned.

    .

    Just my thoughts.

    .

    I hope this helps.
