I've been going over the ending credits of the TV series Andromeda (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213327/?ref_=nv_sr_1), mostly adding missing credits. So far I've got to the beginning of season 3, and I was starting to wonder about deleting credits which might not be rightlfully listed. So far I've deleted very few credits, as in only those I was confident enough in my conclusion that they shouldn't have been there.
Regarding other credits I wasn't so sure, so I figured I'd ask around before taking actions which might make things worse. For example, Jared Brown (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0113793/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr88) is listed as a set dresser for 85 episodes of the series. I've checked the ending credits of many of those episodes quite thoroughly, and while other names are credited in the art department as lead dressers and set dressers, Jared Brown's name wasn't mentioned. I suppose my question is - can / should I delete his credit solely based on the fact that I couldn't find his name on the appropriate section of the ending credits?
Of course, this is just an example. There are many other such credits I left in place.
If there's any information about that in a detailed guide, other than the standard Q&A section, a link would be apprciated. Otherwise (or in addition), any insights would be appreciated as well.
Thanks. :)

I realize that in some cases, it happens because people are just not careful enough, and tend to assume, for example, that if an art director or a costume designer got credits for 5 episodes in a row, they "obviously" get the credit for the entire season (or all the seasons of that show).
Anyway, thanks for the reply. :)

However, in some cases it is quite clear that a mistake has been made. For example, when a movie or a TV show episode has two directors credited on IMDB (none of them marked "uncredited"), while only one is credited on-screen. While that is not a concrete, absolute proof of the other director not deserving the credit, it does seem doubtful, especially considering how easy it is to add credits to IMDB. Should I refrain from submitting delete requests in such cases as well, or can common sense be a substitute for proof in such cases?
