This was also a bit confusing to me. "Goodfellas"? I knew that was a film (I've heard the name before), but I haven't seen it, and I couldn't tell you who's in it or what it's about. Does that count as "uniquely identifying?"

> Uniquely identify means you can identify the specific person or thing — not just a category. > Just knowing someone is an “actor” isn't enough, because there are lots of actors. But if you can name their role in a specific movie or recognize them by sight, that’s uniquely identifying — so check the box!

So I would say no.
