Same artist - different language name issue.

Greetings ppl.
Few years ago I've imported from MusicBrainz to here an artist https://www.theaudiodb.com/artist/144905
Recently I discovered that after tagging records of this artist via Music Brainz Picard information about the artist cannot be loaded from TheAudioDB to my media center (Kodi).
As can be found on TheAudioDB page of the artists at the moment of import MusicBrainz page had UUID of the artist like https://musicbrainz.org/artist/1cf0b4ef-74e8-4fd6-b5ed-7c2124ffc4c6
But nowadays there is redirect to another UUID: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/121d2a21-a449-44a5-ad4c-5627a94fb15c
I think it is because merge was done in 2019 on MB https://musicbrainz.org/edit/64024200

Technically Artist represents himself with same name but in different languages: German and Russian. Both are correct.
I've added alternate name to the artists but no success. Still Artist info could not be taken from TADB by Kodi.
So I've imported artist from new MB UUID and now there are 2 records of the artist https://www.theaudiodb.com/artist/144905 and https://www.theaudiodb.com/artist/163473
And after that i had chance to update artist info in Kodi.

Is there any way to merge artists in here ?
Or may be old artist need to be deleted i guess...

The artist will need to be re-imported sadly...
