Declined cast & crew deletions
Hello there :)
I sent a few actor and one special effects department deletion requests that were declined, sometimes multiple times, but I don't see why, I think I provided sufficient explanations for them, so I figured I'd collect them all here instead of trying to validate them one by one.
The actors:
2001: A Space Odyssey - Irena Marr
The information about her being in the movie comes from the 2001Italia.it blog, which identified basically the entire uncredited cast of the movie by looking through archives, production notes and interviewing cast & crew members. The character was first identified as having been played by Irena Marr, but the blog owner later retracted this, as it was confirmed that Maya Koumani was the actual actress. Koumani is already listed here on IMDb in the cast. There are also (as far as I know) no more Russian scientists left unidentified in the movie, so she couldn't have played a different one either. https://www.2001italia.it/2014/02/the-magnificent-obsession-full-cast.html?m=1
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones - Claudia Karvan
She only appears in deleted scenes and doesn't have an on-screen credit, so she should be deleted. https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/star-wars-luke-skywalker-cousins https://www.filmink.com.au/the-unkindest-cut-when-actors-hit-the-cutting-room-floor/ https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Claudia_Karvan
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Jim Dale
Listed as the Narrator, but there's no narration in this movie, he only did the DVD extras and read the audiobook.
Troll (2022) - Ammar Banewais
He was not credited, nor was there a character with this name in the movie. In fact, the person himself might be fake, one of his supposed characters have the same name as the one here, and some others another seemingly fake one, and he often has the 'credit only' attribute, when he is in fact not credited.
Doctor Who (1963-1989): S02E04 (World's End) - Stenson Falke, Pat Gorman and Valentino Musetti
They only appear in later episodes of the show, Musetti is even listed as an Egyptian Soldier, which is not something there was a single one of in this episode. https://guide.doctorwhonews.net/person.php?code=10067
https://guide.doctorwhonews.net/person.php?name=PatGorman
https://guide.doctorwhonews.net/person.php?code=337
Same show, same episode - Robert Rowland
I found no reason to believe he was in the show at all. We have very detailed records of even the extras of the early episodes, but his name doesn't appear anywhere but here.
Don't Lose Your Head (1967) - Henry Phipps
This page is of a cinematographer from the 2010s, the actual actor is already listed as Harry Phipps.
This edit was declined twice within seconds after sending it.
Stranger Things: S02E08 (Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer) - Steven Yeun
I have no idea where this information came from, I only managed to find three mentions of it anywhere, none of which seem to be reliable sources.
First, there's the Film and Television Wikia
https://aveleyman.fandom.com/wiki/Stranger_Things_S02E08_%22Chapter_Eight:_The_Mind_Flayer%22
The image of him here is, let's just say, not very clear, so I don't think we can make a conclusion on his identity. Also, according to the page history, this info was added on 8 February 2025, and even though I don't know when it was added to IMDb, I wouldn't be surprised if the Wiki just took the information from here, and tried to identify him by process of elimination.
Second is the List of Deaths Wiki
https://listofdeaths.fandom.com/wiki/Steven_Yeun
According to this, he played a character who died in this episode, but that's it.
And third is this Reddit thread, where a few people talk about how they don't think he's in the episode:
https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/s/jbqaVfgmML
It also just seems weird for an actor who was already fairly well known at the time to appear as such an unidentifiable extra.
And last, the special effects artist:
Graveyard Shift (1990) - Tom Szarnody
Already listed under the name Tom Czarnopys with the attribute 'as Tom Szarnody'.
