It's a bit early to declare the most-credited form.

For the record: unfortunately, it's never too early to declare the most-credited form. We're all doing so whenever we contribute any cast and crew. Mind you: even when you're simply entering someone "as credited", that effectively means you're declaring that name variant to be the most-credited form. So we're all making that type of decision all the time. The bottom line is: if I happen to contribute a profile with Mr. Campbell in it today, I have no choice but to make use of what appears to be the common name today. That doesn't mean I won't keep an eye on further developments, but for now, I'll be using whatever we determined to be the common name at the moment I'm contributing. That's how the system works.

Also, there are a few things I don't entirely understand about this "unconfirmed" list: I see it has titles that are already in the "confirmed" list, like 'The Princess Bride', and I see titles listed multiple times, like 'Romeo Must Die' under all three name variants. I'll happily believe that he's currently listed in the database under all three, but to add those all up and then conclude that there are "another 92 films which haven't been confirmed yet" doesn't seem to be entirely accurate.

I'll happily believe that they're listed in the database that way, but to add them all up and say that there are "another 92 films" unconfirmed is quite something else - that's just not the case.

He has been credited in almost 160 films / TV shows &  and only 71 of them had been checked in your post yet you decided that David Campbell was his most common name. While it is possible that David Campbell may end up being his most common name I would prefer is more than 50% where actually checked before I start changing all my profiles

Of the missing 90+ roles, 68 of them were in the database. If you read my original post you will see I posted the movies that the CLT had him credited as, that is why he has some films are listed under all 3 names. Since it unlikely that he would have 3 different credits for the same movie, that is why movie roles are unconfirmed/unverified until somebody actually checks the credits and not just rely on wrong CLT counts created by IMDB copied profiles. 


Princess bride was left on by mistake but has now been rectified

I can verify this:

David Campbell:
- Exit Wounds
- Mr. & Mrs. Smith  Credited as Music Mixer, so should not be included in the CLT.

Dave Campbell:
- The Dukes of Hazzard
- Livstegn (Proof of Life)
- The Last Castle

Updated the list - it's still DAVID CAMPBELL.
