My submission note:
The custom dvd-book sits in a slipcase. Added BY for Robert Noble since it was apparently in my profile, and according to IMDB there are 3 actors with that name.

The decline message:
Please use birth years only to distinguish between otherwise identical cast and crew. New birth year submissions must be documented.

Even though we can't use IMDB as source for actual data, I would guess we can use it to determine whether or not a person has a unique name ?

you have to document where you got the BY if you pass it along to Invelos. If you can't document don't pass the BY on with the profile. Don't thick the box.
Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.

Yeah, it wasn't the fact that you used imdb you check that there was more than one Robert Noble, you need to tell them where you got the BY from.
If it came from a different accepted profile, check the contribution notes of that profile and either copy that documentation or let the screener know which profile it came from.

In general, you need to be specific about what other movies the other actor is in. Merely stating that it was already in your collection is not enough when you submit a birth year. As I have said before, if you dont have specific data to back up the birth year, don't check the box.

There were a lot of unnecessary birth years introduced early on. Just having it in your collection is not enough of a justification to submit it.

Ok, tnx for the clarification, I will resubmit, including the other actors with the same name and other sources that confirm them being different actors.
