Which of these Make Up Artists should be listed as crew?

Personally, I would say that only Schitthelm and Smith are correct and maybe the Make Up Artists Daily.

Why should they not all qualify?

Unfortunately the rules are not very clear about cases like this. If "make up artist" is a valid credit, does it mean that "make up artist [xxx]" is also valid or does it have to be only "make up artist" without something following it?

That's exactly why I doubt to add them.

I interpret the make up dailies as assistants to the make up artists. I Think Andrea Gotowtschikow should be seen as Unit Crew and therefor invalid.

The whole point of the Crew-system as used by DVDProfiler was to restrict the entries to "Principal Crew" ... this was considered to be so self-evident that someone forgot to actually pin it down.

But this has become somewhat obsolete since nowadays even "Additional Anything" or Producers of songs ("Produced By" is in the Crew-Chart and the Group-Divider defines the actual job) get entered.

So, by all means, if you wish to, enter the Dailies too. After all its not worse than labelling the person that communicates the ideas of the costume-designer to the seamstresses (i.e. Wardrobe Supervisor) as Costume Designer
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

If this was the point then the rules should have been made much clearer.

@Gamemaster: In my personal opinion only the first two credited persons are really of interest and the others shouldn't be entered.
