Uncredited actors are not required entries.

Which doesn't allow anybody to delete them from the online database without documentation once they are accepted.

If you want to simply point to IMDB and all is solved. You know how Ken thinks about IMDB.

Correct tweeter.

You can't simply point to IMDb.  You have to convince the voters that they are an exact copy of IMDb.  According to Ken, this is a valid reason for removal.

Well, not to be silly or anything, but I was discussing a profile that is now 3 days old.  At least the DVD release is only 3 days old.  There is only one contributor, presumably the originator and absolutely no notes regarding uncredited cast.  Of course, now the burden of proof is on me to remove them.

Brilliant. 

Except that even for new contributions you are required to include in your notes the source of the data.  One of the main reasons a new contribution is declined is because the contributor didn't show the source of the data.  This should include any uncredited cast.

I don't know if the contributor of the new Bonnie & Clyde profile used the cast from an existing one, [though I guess I should assume this from the title of this thread] but that may have been the reason why it was accepted.  IMO the unredited cast SHOULD have been documented for the new release even if that cast was already in the older profile.  Maybe an old profile could have been grandfathered in when the database went from Intervocative to Invelos, but there's no reason a profile for a new or re-released profile should be exempt from the documentation rule.

If that is the case, then I see no reason you can't remove them.  Simply state, in your notes, that the uncredited cast was not documented and shouldn't be there.  After that, it is up to Gerri to decide whether or not to accept or decline it.

Well, Rho, legal issues aside. Imdb has been created and already exists and in several forms (clones) on the Internet. Why does another IMDb need to be creeated. I mean really, if you like IMDb so much Rho you should use it, it wii let you track 10,000 titles for ffree. Invelos created DVDProfiler they did not create IMDb and they have a different concept.
