I'm currently updating a profile in which the following credits


are in the online profile as (respectively)
Make-up Effects
and
Visual Effects

I am inclined to remove these. Is that the correct action or not?

For me the "Head of Department Prosthetics" is a valid credit within Make-up Effects.

The "Prosthetics Concept Design" seems to me as invalid

LKanne is correct.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

I would say this depends on what kind of movie it is. Are the prosthetics for gore, or to make someone a creature? If a creature, I'd give the second one "creature design" credit, at least locally and probably mention it in my contribution notes for others to do with as they wish.
Sadly if just for gore effects, well, I'd keep it locally and possibly mention in notes under makeup effects. That wouldn't be within the rules to contribute.

I agree with this as well.  Prosthetic is specified in the Make-up Effects section of the rule and, since Department Head is a valid Make-up Artist credit, I don't see why it shouldn't be here as well.

No creature is mentioned so I wouldn't use Creature Designer...though I do like the thought.  Fun fact...for me it's a fun fact...not only is he the department head, but he is also the owner.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
