I submitted the cast and crew credits for Spin City Season 2 last night and a user voted no, since I added a divder within the cast credits that says, "New York Rangers," which follows all the cast credits. The user says "for movie cast lists such div. are in a grey area, but for tv series div should only be used to seperate episodes."  Rules say, "Do not include artificial actor entries to act as separators between cast lists. (e.g. "--JAPANESE CAST--"), instead use the Divider feature for this."
What do all of think? Should the divider go or stay?
Thanks.

This is a tough one: IMHO, the program simply isn't equipped to properly handle a "divider within a divider" yet...

I voted to keep it but can see what T!M's getting at. We do "need" half length dividers as well as full length.

I agree... both with that it is a tough one... and that I feel the program really isn't equipped properly to handle this at the time.

I personally feel it just will look cluttered and confusing with the way it is handled right now. Now if we had a different size divider... or even a different color divider for such cases I would be more then happy to see it. But not the way it is now.

Such a divider is permissible, imo, but visually confusing.  I'd probably go with something like:

Adam Graves - Himself (New York Rangers)

I agree with T!M and Pete.  I also agree with Caleb.  That seems to be the best compromise.
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.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Thanks for all the quick replies. I have re-submitted the cast listing per CalebAndCo example. I also agree with everyone else on hoping for a smaller or different color divider, so this would work in the future. Until then...
