I don't follow you. Are you suggesting that we use Steve Speirs as common name? If so, on what grounds? The CLT shows Steven Spiers as the most common

Or are you saying that he was never credited as something other than Steve Speirs?

Quoting Ken Cole:
Quote:
The lookup tool is not to be blindly trusted, however it does outweigh other sources, including autographs.  The common name is not intended to always reflect the "real name", but the most commonly credited name. 

However, if a user documents errors in the database where the credit is not entered properly, that can and should be considered.  Better yet, correct the entries, assuming you own the discs in question, thereby correcting the lookup results.

by the looks of it Spiers is wrongly credited in profiles, as the credit tool shows hem credited for the same movies as "steve speirs" or "steven spiers" or "steve spiers" or "steven speirs" clearly this can not be correct.
as his website shows "Steve Speirs" and several movies use this credit, it's is more then logic to correct this situation.

As it seems we only profile the most commonly credited name and not the actual stage name or real name of cast and crew

His web site is irrelevant. We don't profile "real names". We profile the most commonly credited name.

His web site is irrelevant. We don't profile "real names". We profile the most commonly credited name. If you can prove one name is more commonly credited over another based on actual film credits vs the CLT results then, by all means, make the appropriate changes. But don't throw around someone's web site as proof that the CLT is wrong.

I just showed there are errors in the database:
credit tool shows him credited for the same movies as "steve speirs" or "steven spiers" or "steve spiers" or "steven speirs" clearly this can not be correct.

That's really nice...you've shown us there are errors. We already know the database is rife with errors. What's your point? Do the research and fix the problem.
