I've been adding Peyton Lockridge as an uncredited actor to the Walking Dead season 9 episodes. It is well known he is playing the baby Herschell Rhee. The credit was approved but I've now noticed that it has disappeared from both episodes this season.

You need to have at least one pre-existing credited entry in the database. We will not display filmographies consisting exclusively of uncredited work. We may make an exception in very rare/specific circumstances (e.g. on movies released before 1990, episodes released before 2000 and/or for high-profile credits, such as an uncredited cameo appearance by a celebrity), but in most cases we will not list an uncredited credit unless you have a pre-existing credited filmography.
Relevant?

I do not believe so. That would be relevant to his name page. His credit should still show up in the cast listing for the episodes. I believe someone deleted the credit but why?

I'm not sure. I've been told that the "display logic" prevents items meeting the criteria from being publicly viewed altogether, but that was months ago.

This is also what I have been told. Uncredited will not show in cast listing or name page until there is 1 credit.

I also believe that it doesn’t show on the main page either. Not fully sure at the moment.

The reply from Col Needham in this topic should shed some light.

Hi Adrian -

To clarify, the information Jeorj/Jack/Eboy provided above is spot-on, the credits are not displaying because Peyton Lockridge does not have any credited entries (he only has the two uncredited entries), as such these credits will not display on the site (his name page or the title pages) until he has a credited entry listed.  Cheers!
