#210712-224855-846000 removing plot outline declined

In #210712-224855-846000, I tried to remove the plot outline for Patrick Melrose (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6586318/reference) because it is not a plot outline, it's no more than a writing credit, for which, of course, IMDb has its own section. However, my submission was declined. If staff declined it because that would leave the plot outline section open (which I would think is a bad reason, mind you), I would suggest using the plot summary written by Tom Daly. If the part before the comma (the non-plot part which is again no more than a writing credit) is removed, it has a good length for a plot outline.

Hi Marco -

I reviewed the Plot request and can see that it was not accepted because we didn't receive a more in-depth Plot outline replacement.  In instances where a plot is unknown or when we do not yet have a detailed plot outline for a title, we are accepting in including content that helps provide context for the title (ie. "based on", "installment of", etc.).

If you know the plot for this title, I encourage you to submit a Plot Correction with the new information and our editors will take a look.

Cheers!
