Voice Dub Director credited as Director - should be corrected

Cocoon: One Summer of Girlhood (2025)

#260903-184248-227619

Stephanie Sheh has a "Director" credit here, but if you look at this person's history you see that she is a voice-over actress and director of English dubs for Japanese anime. She is doing the same here and should have this credit moved out of the director slot and into Other Credits (I believe that's the right category). My submission to do so was rejected.

This other site has her listed as ADR Director: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=28792

Hello sycasey80

If the person was not credited in the official onscreen credits, this credit is not eligible to be listed, therefore a deletion for the credit can be submitted using the online Update Form. You can submit the deletion and post the submission number here for us to approve.

@Fran​ The claim is not that the person should not be credited, it's that the credit should be moved to a different section.

Should be "voice director" or "ADR director" under Additional Crew, rather than under Director.

@sycasey80​ 

Dubbing credits other than cast are not eligible.

"As per your question, dubbing voice performances are the only credits on dubbed versions of a title that are now eligible for listing on IMDb.

As before, roles such as: ADR (Automatic Dialogue Replacement), loop group, audio description, dubbing script translator; that are not for the title’s original language version, are still ineligible for listing on IMDb."

@Peter_pbn​ Ah okay, I saw some other credits like that for this person and assumed that was allowed. Request submitted to delete:

I would also argue that English dub directors for anime projects like this probably should get credit as well, but if that's not the policy then that's not the policy.
