Title Declined For Not Meeting Eligibility Criteria

I recently submitted a new title to IMDb (#250425-064847-155000) that was declined for not meeting the eligibility criteria. This film is a repackaged, feature-length edit of something that had previously been released as a web series. There are numerous other cases of this sort of thing, with both the series and the film edit having separate IMDb entries (e.g. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9335794/ and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30020989/). For reference, here is the feature-length movie - edited together from the previously released web series episodes - on Tubi (this is what I was trying to add to IMDb): https://tubitv.com/movies/100014990/red-iron-road Why was this film declined as ineligible for its own IMDb entry when there are numerous other cases of films edited from web series and TV series having their own separate IMDb entries?

@Maya I am having the same problem again. Angel of Death (2009) was originally released as a TV show on Crackle before all of the episodes were later edited together and repackaged as a movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_of_Death_(web_series) Currently, IMDb only has an entry for the movie edit: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1269734/ I recently submitted a new entry for the TV show version of Angel of Death (#250524-070254-276000) and it still has not been approved, indicating that it is likely to be declined. Can you please approve it? Please approve #250524-172217-906000 as well.

@Madotsuki_the_Dreamer2- Thank you for posting the submission reference numbers! Further reviewing, your new title for the TV series was approved however, it was incorrectly merged onto the film's title. I have now reverted these changes in the movie and have re-submitted your new title addition for the TV series which has now been approved. The changes are live on the site already: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37032237/?ref_=ttcnn_ov_bk Please note that filmography credits for TV Series have to be submitted to the respective episodes the person worked on as per our guidelines. You are welcome to submit them when the episodes are added: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-add-an-episodic-credit/GRRHUZAQPQV4T2F9?ref_=helpsrall# As per the second submission, this has been approved and the changes will be live shortly. Cheers!

@Maya IMDb keeps declining four of the cast members that were in Angel of Death. See updates #250525-193129-097000 and #250526-062439-506000. All four of these actors (Doug Jones, Mark Casimir Dyniewicz Jr., Zoë Bell, and Lucy Lawless) are listed on the IMDb entry for the movie edit of Angel of Death and all four of them are listed on every other page about the TV series, e.g.: https://watch.plex.tv/show/angel-of-death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_of_Death_(web_series)#Cast Pretty much any time I try to add a noteworthy cast member to an IMDb page, it gets declined, even if I provide proof (as I did here).

@Madotsuki_the_Dreamer2- Thank you for posting! I can see that of all the 4 names, only Dough Jones was missing. As mentioned above, please submit the necessary corrections to the credits when the respective episodes are added. The filmography credits should not be added to the parent title page but to the respective episodes each person worked on as per our guides.

@Maya I've now had yet another actor credit on a different title declined for no reason: #250601-023745-897000. John Ralston is listed in this film's credits and on its Tubi page: https://tubitv.com/movies/100020822/thriller-anthology-vol-1

@Maya Why has this film's entry been changed to "Science Fiction Anthology" when that is clearly a different film? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37138615/ Again, this is the film that I added to IMDb: https://tubitv.com/movies/100020822/thriller-anthology-vol-1

@Maya Thank you. Can you remove the Sci-Fi Anthology poster from this page and make the Thriller Anthology poster the default one again please?
