Uncredited Cast Addition for Young Guns (1988); Tom Cruise
Multiple individuals have attempted to add Tom Cruise as an uncredited cast member of the movie "Young Guns (1988)" over the past several years, but without the necessary evidence for verification. I just went through this process, twice, with the 2nd attempt containing an grand plethora of evidence. However, my addition was still declined. Why? I got Randy Travis approved as an uncredited cast member based on far less. The evidence I provided for Tom Cruise's addition to this film was overwhelming, including direct quotes from the screenwriter, two separate interviews by co-star Kiefer Sutherland, an active report by "People" magazine on July 18th, 1988 during the film's production, direct verbal confirmation in the DVD audio commentary by no less than 3 additional cast members of the film, as well as a multitude of other references. Has Tom Cruise requested he not be added to the credits for this film? What additional evidence could possibly be required? Please explain.
Here is the addition request and evidence list provided on the 2nd attempt:
"at 1:39:14, Tom Cruise can be seen being shot by Casey Siemazko's
character (Charlie Bowdre) as he exits Terry O'Quinn' character (Alex
McSween's) house. This is an uncredited role, and has been documented
extensively over the years, including in the trivia section for this film, as well as in the audio commentary by Lou Diamond Phillips, Dermot Mulroney and Casey Siemaszko. Please note the following short list of sources and cast/crew interviews that validate this addition:"

(from the 2nd to last link, 9gag, exactly the same on the reddit link;
even watching the youTube clip wasn't convincing.)
then I don't blame IMDb from declining.
Couldn't all those sources (cast/crew interviews) actually be part of a mass joke? Maybe people's memories have believed stories that have been retold? After all, it's now 31(!) years later.
I'm surprised the Trivia item is stated so definitely:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096487/trivia?item=tr4255407
I suspect this cast addition has been attempted before.
Is there such a thing as listing a Cast item as "(uncredited) (rumored)" after a film is released?
