how to delete the keyword tv-special in 2025 ?

I have asked for and obtained several times the deletion of the keyword "tv-special" from programs that were fictional using this justification that I found in this forum a few months ago: "This is a TV movie telling a fictional story performed by actors. It does not qualify as a TV special for IMDb purposes, and all the cast members should have this title in the Actor or Actress section of their pages, not the Self section." But for the past few weeks, my requests have been systematically refused. Why this change? How should I formulate my justification now to have this keyword deleted? Thank you for your help.

aixourit: Please post here the 18-digit submission numbers for the requests that you submitted. Sometimes data submissions just get rejected due to processing errors, even though there was nothing wrong with the submission. In that case, the best thing to do is to post the submission numbers here so that the IMDb staff can look at what you submitted and have it processed again.

@aixourit- Hi, Thank you for posting the submission references! Further reviewing, I can see that the first one has already been removed and as per the rest, these have been re-submitted on your behalf and now approved. The changes will be live on the site shortly. These were processing errors which have now been reported to the respective team. As a recommendation, although an explanation is fine too, you are also welcome to include any supporting link as evidence on your contributions.
