| | Posted: | | | | Billy Barty 1924 is in the DB as a valid BY. But I think it is invalid.
I went through the CLT and I found no titles that were not in his fimography
Also searching the site I get no hits, so no reference to why it was created.
Does anyone else see anything different |

| | Posted: | | | | I would say no to the BY. Even the unpredictable IMDB only has 1 Billy Barty. | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

Oct 25 1924 We are speaking of valid as in valid that it exists in the Invelos Online Database, not whether that was his real birth year. To be a valid BY in the Invelos DB there would be a need to have it to separate two differnnt people that are profiled in the Invelos DB. By saying it is invalid we are saying it is not needed in the Invelos online DB |

| | Posted: | | | | Invalid. As Huskersports says, even IMDB says it's invalid.
There doesn't seem to be a second chap in 'our' database either. | | | | Last edited: by GreyHulk |

Just want to point out that IMDB isn't always 100% accurate and likely wouldn't include a real life person that appears in an obscure DVD release that is in our database. So I wouldn't jump to that conclusion so fast. That said, looking at the CLT results I don't see any profiles that don't belong to just one person. So I side with it being an invalid BY. |

| | Posted: | | | | I think we're all fully aware IMDB isn't accurate in most cases, but in this case it supports our theory that the Birth Year is indeed invalid. | | | | Last edited: by GreyHulk |
