Unable to add uncredited cast member to Pikachu no Wanpaku Island (2006) (V)

Rodriguez, Joe (III) voiced the character "Exploud" in the English version of this short, albeit uncredited.
Despite providing two posts from the actor himself as an explanation, IMDb still tells me it "does not meet contribution guidelines".
What am I doing wrong?

Hi PaperSplash -

As forthehorde mentioned above, we only make rare exceptions to our policy that voice credits must be credited on-screen to be eligible.

If you are seeing uncredited voice credits listed on the site that do not pertain to high-profile performers, I encourage you to request the removal of those credits as they are very likely to be ineligible and added in error.

@Michelle

Wouldn't it actually be better to update IMDb's outdated policy of treating voice actor's as second class? I literally see no reason why uncredited voice work should not be allowed on IMDb. This also applies to Additional Voice credits in animated titles where it all depends on how the credits are laid out. I fail to see how you can have a comprehensive database if you decline the addition of cast members solely because they are voice actors and uncredited. If Brad Pitt can be credited for the 2 seconds he appears in Less Than Zero (with no lines), than voice actors, who by definition have lines, should be able to get credit!

I second Adrian's statement.
