AFAIK, all options are possible according to Ken's rules, as he said you can remove Uncredited data if not documented and close match of any 3rd party db, but he didn't say you absolutely must do it, or how you should do it.
So, what would you personally do? I mean, of course, when you have some spare time for doing it, so "I don't have the time" is not an option. 
I voted 1.
Also see this thread for an example and discussion about the topic.

I think the important element of that statement is 'can' as opposed to should.

Fortunately even the most vocally against uncredited cast are community spirited enough to appreciate that the information may be valuable to other users, and they do not wantonly remove them.

The ideal scenario IMO is that a brief check on the internet is made before removing any undocumented uncredited cast.

Yep! I also think opening a thread before contributing can be useful, so that others can help provide documentation for the contribution, if they want.

As a general rule, if you don't know what you're doing, leave the data alone.  Change it only if you know what you're doing.

Exactly, Ken said that they could be removed but, he also said that we are not required to remove them.  Seems like we still have members that feel the online DB must match their personal DB.

Best solution : remove them from your database if you don't like it and don't mess with the database.

EnryWiki this is not directed at you personally. Just to make it clear

I wouldn't trust anyone who put broccoli on pizza.

If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

That is not what Ken said, anyway, when he wrote that it's safe to remove undocumented, evidently copied, uncredited data. Quite the opposite.

So, what would you do: 1, 2, 3, or 4?
