Continual Inability to delete a wrong department credit to my profile

I am aware of how I am listed incorrectly on my page. These steps you have posted have been tried and submitted to IMDB over and over again. You cant simply delete the incorrect listing from my page only. They review the correction request to make the change. This has not been done.

The most likely reason you can't get it removed is because it is a factual credit. You are listed as Set Decoration Asstistant/Cast Driver. IMDb will not remove any factual credits. See: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/some-of-the-information-on-my-page-is...#




I was able to watch this short on vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/87133129

I have never been in the transportation department in my life. You would have to be a Teamster to travel cast or to drive any vehicle in film. I am a member of IATSE 891

That doesn't matter, you had an on-screen credit as Cast Driver. The IMdb is there to record facts.

Hello, Ali. 

Do you happen to know why you were credited at that job position? Maybe you once driven a cast member somewhere and considering it was a short film somehow thought that it would or should merit the credit (that happens a lot on low budget productions)? 

That said, mistakes do happen when the credits are compiled and while cast members and directors have "(credit only)" attribute for that, it is not yet (unfortunately) introduced for other crew members, although cases like that do happen. Recently a person contacted IMDb regarding his uncredited acting part and it turned out that  he was actually credited in the stunts section, despite no stunts involved. 

What we can do for now is to use trivia section on your IMDb page to signify that it is a mistake, as well as listing the fact in "Crazy Credits" and/or "Goofs". I totally believe we should spread awareness of such cases, which might constitute for "(credit only)" attribute for different departments, as well as filmmakers having more attention to end credits listings.   

Shouldn't "credit only" really only apply to TV series (and I would think cast members, not directors)?

Someone is credited, but did not appear in the title. This is common in TV shows where regular performers sometimes do not appear in a particular episode but retain a screen credit.

I can't imagine this is applicable outside of TV episodes. For movies, etc. "scenes deleted" is probably more accurate if someone is credited but doesn't appear.

No, Adrian, "(credit only)" actually has a number of different uses other then main cast: 
-People who were officially credited as directors, but were not actually directing. That could be done due to marketing (Osamu Tezuka in Saiyûki), to cover up non-DGA directors in TV series (although attribute was removed in case of Nicholas Colasanto and Étude in Black for some reason), in cases of fictional characters credited as directors (Those Old Trailers) and in cases of unknown reason but confirmed factual information (Adriano Celentano in Super rapina a Milano).
-Cast members who were credited there by mistake - I have encountered a few cases in which bit part TV actors were credited on entirely wrong episodes whatsoever and therefore will have two listings: credit only on episode in which they were credited and uncredited in case of actual appearance. 
-Cast members who only appear in photograph but are credited due to director's position on subject (Don S. Davis in Part 9 of Twin Peaks; a few other cases on the same series). At times also happens with paintings, sculptures and even verbal mentions. 
-Credits with no actual role done either because there were no time to shoot actual footage or to alter the end credits (and the two processes were done simultaneously). Likewise cases when footage was not shot, but actor was still credited for all the trouble (Mikhail Bondarev in Partiya, ili dyatel na betonnom stolbe).
-Weird cases of credits instated on mutual agreement as an in-joke, stylistic decision or homage. I would say that Rene Khobua fits there - it is a non-existent entity credited on every single movie of director Georgiy Daneliya, who was almost always credited as a bit part actor. As the story goes, it is named after an unclear memory of a name of a person, whom Daneliya wanted to thank for being a script test audience, but there were no special thanks at the time in standard Soviet credits. Eventually it become a director trademark.  
-Fictional characters that were credited as actors, although that is not commonly used in the case, for some reason. 
-Cases of unexplained origin in which credit is there, no known deleted scenes were ever mentioned and yet there is no footage of actor in the movie either. That happens rarely, but happens.
