Sure it is:  602537204854

I private messaged afterwards, where they suggested I post here and make the poll.


Thanks for confirming.

FWIW based on the information you’ve supplied, I agree that the title belongs in the database and voted yes in the poll. Hopefully the outcome is positive and there won’t be another contribution again trying to remove the profile now that it’s been approved a third time.


There already is, however I voted with the OP to not delete so hopefully it doesn't pass

The tricky thing is you don't know if a profile that you have submitted gets removed later on.

I only found out because I installed the iOS version of DVD Profiler on my M1 Mac and downloaded my database fresh with cover art and noticed the cover art I uploaded was missing.  So went to my old Windows machine that I run DVDProfiler on and contributed it again and finally saw it was being declined after the fact.

You don't get notifications of the other contributions or removals of that title.  Then the only response is replying through he contribution so I went and Private Messaged them.

I didn't realise it was just a user dictating wrong rules and making assumptions about titles they do not own.
When they say "To the original contributor: Sorry, but the main feature on this disc is audio. The fact that a cartoon is playing along does not make this a video." .. determining that a cartoon playing over music makes a title not a video, but only audio?  I mean thats totally crazy IMHO - when its an official release.  So I guess bugs bunny is also not a video cartoon, but audio and needs to be removed?  Shows like The Rabbit of SEville is basically the Barber of Seville with bugs bunny animated on top, so by the notion a cartoon playing over music doesn't make it a video.  It is just ludicrous.

I do wonder how many titles are being removed based on assumptions that are incorrect.  It is a pain if you spend the time even creating a simple entry, then scannign in your covers, uploading them, only to find out later on someone else decided they aren't for the database and removes them.

Though if you have an M1 Mac, the iOS version runs quite nicely on the desktop. . Who says we haven't had something new to play with from DVDProfiler for a while?

If your online database is up-to-date and you are checking pending contributions you will know when someone submits a contribution to delete it.

Yeah my online database is up to date, but I don't keep the pending contributions page open to keep checking that one constantly.  But I think I may start now.

I created a thread earlier on this which ultimately didn't go anywhere. Profiles are also sometimes deleted when someone changes the locality. If you don't keep on top of the voting page (and there are always going to be times when you don't have time to check) you probably won't know when a profile has been deleted (thus eliminating further updates) due to different locality or any other reason.
