'Celebrity' names attached to our project are not being updated

When I add non-A, B and C list names to our projects, they get added almost immediately. But several submissions we have made for our legitimately attached actors and directors are not being updated/added. As IMDB certainly knows, delays with this kind of thing can be problematic for our projects. What must be done to expedite this now and in the future?


For reference, the two projects not being updated:

imdb.com/title/tt3656384 should have Joe Pesci added to the cast
and
imdb.com/title/tt6629088 should have Jason Priestley added as director

Hi there,

It looks like our editors were unable to verify that these two names were involved in the titles. We will need some more information and evidence in order for us to confirm their involvement and update the credits accordingly.

Acceptable additional evidence may vary depending on the type of data you are trying to submit -- if you are adding a credit for a film or TV show, the best evidence is a screen grab/image showing the person's name and credit as it appears in the main or end titles of that show. 
Other verification may include proof of employment (pay stubs or receipts, call sheets, contracts) showing that the person worked on the production, or mentions of the person's role on the production in media articles from reputable third party sources.

Thanks for the response, but some of these options are not available when in the pre-production/casting process obviously. 

What else can we do? Can't their representatives be contacted for verification?

Hi Ehron,

Unfortunately not, the burden on proof is on you as the submitter. If you can supply some form of evidence we will be happy to take a look. Please see http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?additionalverification

Will
