Reviewing a couple of contribution for Season 4 of Lost made me wonder how and when we came to accept "(Credits Only)" as part of the role for characters in a TV show.

Example:
Quote:
Ken Leung as Miles Straume (credit only)


Isn't "(Credits Only" a uniquely IMDb credit listing, like (Archival Footage)?

I frequently view ONLY the credits when I'm analyzing episodes of a TV series.  So there's no why I would know for sure when someone is shown in the credits but does not actually appear in the episode.

I don't think "(Credits Only)" is appropriate in our cast lists.  What do you say about this?

You're absolutely correct.

This "tag" should not be used in DVDP.

I agree it should not be in there. I would vote no to any such additions that I seen... and I would clean up any that has slipped through.

Count me in as well.  Shouldn't be there, should be removed.

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

I didn't vote YES for the latest

contribution (which mainly correction parsing of Daniel Dae Kim's name because there are two, competing contributions for this set and both include the "Credit Only" from the existing profile.  But I believe I will start voting NO (or at least PMing the contributor) for profiles which include "Credit Only" -- even for those already approved profiles.

I don't seem to have that option.  All I can vote is simple 'No'.  For some profiles, I really would like to vote 'NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'.
