Reported Problem for Fargo
posted by Geert JanSTAFFMOD on March 17, 2019 at 6:57 AM
Item: Fargo
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Somebody added Ethan Coen as director recently. Officially Ethan Coen didn't direct this film. Of course he's widely recognized as uncredited director, but what is TMDb's policy on this? Because currently it's not consistent. For example, for Blood Simple, Ethan Coen is currently not listed as director, even though for that movie too he unofficially directed it.
The TMDb Contribution Bible doesn't mention a case like this. I personally would be fine with either solution, I would just like it to be consistent for all films where Ethan Coen was an uncredited director.

The Contribution Bible does say in the crew section of the movie guidelines, "Only the crew credited in the original version (e.g. no director's cut or uncredited crew)." Since Ethan Coen is uncredited as director for this film, he should not be added as a director.
