Uncredited narrators in documentaries?

I know that, for the most part, uncredited voice roles are not eligible to be listed, which I think is fair enough. But there are some exceptions made (e.g. if the person is particularly high profile), and it seems to be that a narrator in a documentary is a significant enough person that might be worthwhile to be listed even if uncredited. For that reason, I submitted one as part of a new episode submission 250528-110148-370000 but it was declined. Is there an official view on this?

Hello tom_wake Based on our criteria for Voice/Narrator credits, we are unable to approve the credit. In this case, based on the on screen credits she did not receive a Narrator credit, it is a must to have an on screen credit to list a Narrator credit. This person is already got the valid writer/director credits that can be added. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/cast-acting-credits-guidelines/GH3JZC74FVYKKFMD?ref_=helpsrall#
