Adding Jon Bon Jovi to the cast of Young Guns declined
This is another weird problem. I went to add Tom Cruise and Jon Bon Jovi to Young Guns. It's well known that both appeared in the film (though not necessarily identifiable). I post an article from Spin where Keifer Sutherland talks about their appearance in the movie. The data editor accept Tom Cruise (who had previously been listed in the cast according to the Wayback Machine) but reject Bon Jovi which makes no sense at all to me. The submission was: #220526-015758-064000

The evidence for Cruise seems to be better. There is a previous post with sources here. Among the other sources cited, this one refers to Cruise appearing in the first film and Bon Jovi in the sequel: https://ew.com/article/2010/08/06/billy-the-kid-pardon-young-guns-ii-trivia/ Same with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fffcZddyrU Regarding Cruise, I note that this video claims he is a guy shot on the ground while the interviews say he was shot off a roof. Even if an actor filmed a scene, that doesn't mean the footage ended up in the film. "It's not enough to have just worked on a production: The scenes must be included in the final cut, and it must be possible to easily identify their appearance." https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/cast-acting-credits-guidelines/GH3JZC74FVYKKFMD#uncredited

Here’s the older thread (and that thread includes the link to even older thread - which doesn’t work, I guess): https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/uncredited-cast-addition-for-young-guns-1988-tom-cruise/5f4a7a338815453dba9dc508 Personally I believe that we can never really ”identify” him from the film. That was probably the idea all along, to be honest.

Hi Adrian & All - Concerning listing Jon Bon Jovi's 'uncredited' role in "Young Guns", as mentioned in the comments above, our policy for uncredited work is that the individual is identifiable on-screen. In instances where there is a known cameo and the individual is uncredited and intentionally disguised, then we will need substantial evidence to verify the role. In this case, unfortunately, the Spin article is not enough to verify the role, ideally we will need to see a screen grab from the scene where Mr. Bon Jovi is featured, or if intentionally disguised, we will need see substantial evidence from reputable industry sources. I hope this helps!
