I can see that your recent submission is still currently pending. I also noted that you submitted the credits with the attribute "credit only", to clarify, were these individuals only credited on the short film and were not featured on-screen, or were they credited and featured in the film?

Specifically: "Exceptions: Corpses, paintings, mummies, etc, should not be listed as cast members in any title. People who appear only in still photographs can be included in filmography based on these guidelines"

- they do receive an on screen credit: they should be credited as reflected on screen with the addition of a (credit only) attribute.
The content was created specifically for the title and

Thanks for your post.
The rules on these credits can be found here.
Take special note of the following:
"People who appear only in still photographs can be included in filmography based on these guidelines:
- The content was created specifically for the title and they do receive an on screen credit: they should be credited as reflected on screen with the addition of a (credit only) attribute.
- They are not featured in the end credits: they can be listed with the 'uncredited' attribute - this should be submitted as Photographic Model in Miscellaneous crew.
- If the content is not explicitly created for the title and they are credited: they should be listed with the 'credit only' attribute
- They are not credited: they are not eligible for listing as a filmography item, but can be submitted as “Bio: Other Works” or “Title: Trivia” (as long as it adheres to our Trivia policies)"
With the above in mind, can you confirm if these images were taken explicitly for the title, if so are the names listed in the end credits to reflect their involvement?
Thanks,
Joel

Just to clarify, this attribute is only eligible if the individual was credited on-screen for the original version of the film.
So for example, on "Solo: A Star Wars Story" Michael Kenneth did not receive an on-screen credit even though he shot several scenes for the film, his role was re-cast and since he wasn't credited he is ineligible for a credit. This would also be true even had he been featured on the poster image or other promotional material, the credit would still be ineligible because he was not credited on-screen.

If the actors you initially mentioned were featured in images in the film and their names were credited on-screen, you will need to submit the cast credits with the "credit only" attribute. Please re-submit these credits with the format mentioned above and our editors will take another look.

Individuals photos with the names appears (photos are very similar). And you can hear voices (few words). It was like a commercial campaign. But very similar of the video that you add the link. I am looking for it.

Was there any actual video footage with this title or was it just them appearing in the picture? Can you please include a copy of the end credits? If there was no form of performance associated with the appearance (video or voice) or any credits on screen then these aren't eligible for IMDb credits.
Regards,
Will
