Credit Submission Declined Multiple Times Despite Multiple Public Sources

I have been trying to add Sebastian Stan as a cast member to the In-Development project "Burning Rainbow Farm" (dir. Justin Kurzel). Despite multiple public statements by both Stan and Kurzel (referenced with links in my submissions) it keeps getting declined, despite adding more evidence, saying the information cannot be verified. Usually a single deadline article or similar is more than enough for this type of submission, I'm not sure why this keeps getting declined. The sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/oscarrace/comments/1hoasal/justin_kurzel_confirms_burning_rainbow_farm/ -audio clip of Director Justin Kurzel on a podcast confirming Stan's involvement "Sebastian's doing it. Sebastian Stan is gonna play one of the characters" https://deadline.com/2024/12/sebastian-stan-cristian-mungiu-justin-kurzel-projects-let-the-evil-go-west-interview-1236198280/ -"While he didn’t get into details, Stan also confirmed that he’s attached to star in Burning Rainbow Farm, a film that The Order‘s Justin Kurzel has in development." https://theplaylist.net/sebastian-stan-confirms-hell-star-in-new-films-from-cristian-mungiu-christian-tafdrup-justin-kurzel-20241212/ -"And what’s upcoming project #3 for Stan? That’d be Justin Kurzel‘s 'Burning Rainbow Farm,'" https://www.indiewire.com/features/interviews/sebastian-stan-the-apprentice-cristian-mungiu-the-brutalist-1235084340/ -"Stan has also been instrumental in shepherding the next film from Australian “The Order” director Justin Kurzel, “Burning Rainbow,” about a true Waco-style FBI standoff that brought down a pro-marijuana campground in Michigan a week before 9/11. He’s attached to star in the story of Tom Crosslin and Rolland Rohm, a gay couple defending their land amid police investigations linked to a Rainbow Farm festival-associated killing and their marijuana plants." https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/jacob-elordi-transformed-the-narrow-road-to-the-deep-north-1235114783/ -"Kurzel was brought onto the project by its star Sebastian Stan" These are the submission numbers: #250419-212504-894000 #250417-041946-932000

Thank you so much! I'm curious if I should be submitting differently/posting the sources in a different format, since there's clearly enough verifiable sourcing that I included? Normally I just post a link, but when that didn't work with the first submission I added more links and even some quotes? Thanks!

@isanyoneleft- Your welcome! The links are fine however, we look for evidence from more reputable sources as example, the article from Deadline. But we also check for other types of evidence like contracts, on-screen credits, call sheets, pay stubs.. You can take a look at our following Help Guide where there are different examples depending on the situation, whether credited on-screen or not or if the title is unreleased: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/how-can-i-submit-additional-verification-for-a-credit-submission/GN93ME9NVXHVE36E?ref_=helpsrall# Cheers!
