Accurate, objective, truthful genres are not being accepted

Again and again, accurate, objective, truthful genres are being denied.  This is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. Among problems is the denial of Comedy and Drama for Horror films. For example, there is a great difference between “The Fearless Vampire Killers” (Horror/Comedy) and Rosemary’s Baby (Horror/Drama),  Recently, the same situation was with Westerns.  Blazing Saddles (Western/Comedy) is very different from Hugh Noon (Western/Drama), but that was apparently resolved.

There also seems to be a bias against adding genres for popular, well known films, while lesser known titles can have 6,7, 8 genres. 

Again, it’s all abut being factual.

Here are examples of rejections for other valid genres -- rejections that defy logic:

May I suggest that IMDb also use Google search for (title) (year) genres as a verification source.
