Deliberately created duplicates, MIR? [closed]

Since August 2023 a PM has been creating duplicate profiles so that they can ' work on a best guess, and discover details later.' Sometimes giving incorrect dates on creating the duplicate profile when there is a source with dates.

Several profiles were merged in August because of duplicates created.

In the particular area where these families lived there are multiple people with the same first and last names, and no sources which could verify which of 8 women with the same name married the man who was the father of several children.

I have had several conversations with this person on this topic.

I have now been asked to approve 3 more merges because of new duplicates.

Is an MIR the best solution?

Thanks Robin, I have done a MIR previously and had thought last summer that the PM had realised the flaws in their method apparently not.
If you haven't already, I would suggest filing another MIR.
Clarification: my comment above was misleading, I have previously submitted MIRs but as yet have not done so for the person referenced in my question, I will do so.
