Horton Hears a Who! (1970) is a TV movie, not a TV short, yet my genre change contribution has been declined.

Horton Hears a Who! (1970) (tt0198545) is a non-special, non-series TV production. Hence it is either a TV movie or TV short. It is currently listed as TV short. However, its runtime is 26' and per IMDb guidelines on genres (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/genres/GZDRMS6R742JRGAG#), an item qualifying as a 'short' is "Any theatrical film or made-for-video title with a running time of less than 45 minutes, i.e., 44 minutes or less, or any TV series or TV movie with a running time of less than 22 minutes, i.e. 21 minutes or less." Therefore, the genre "Short" does not apply to this title. Yet my contribution #260721-142105-557000, which included the clarification "TV production with runtime > 22 minutes, hence not a short" was declined because "it does not meet guidelines". 1) What guidelines did it not meet?; 2) Can you lend a hand and delete the genre "short" from this title?

Thanks!!
