Delete titles

@Sandy​ I do understand your point, but we consider the titles to be eligible, and as such they will not be deleted.

@Bethanny​ It says in the IMDb guidelines that in order for titles to be eligible they should be 1. of notable public interest and 2. publicly screened and available to watch. These two titles do not meet the eligibility requirements to be listed on here by IMDb's own basic rules for being shown on here. They have been taken down from YouTube since the original information was posted, and therefore there is no reliable source to back these pages up, and no proof otherwise that these videos ever existed. By these guidelines, it should be clear that both of these pages should be removed from IMDb.

Hi, Alec:

...no proof otherwise that these videos ever existed

You yourself have confirmed that these videos existed...

They have been taken down from YouTube since the original information was posted...

Guideline state that the title "should be available to the public in the future or have been available in the past"; also, 's definition of public interest is very broad (online videos are, per their rules, of public interest), so the two requirements to be eligible are met.

@ljdoncel​ It says, "If you don't include sufficient information to confirm the title exists" then you're not supposed to be approved for IMDb. I'm just saying that there's no video, no proof of production, they were never mentioned by a third party, they weren't screened publicly, and nobody really watched them. I certainly do not think that I should qualify as a "reputable source" as a random kid who uploaded some pictures of me and my friends messing around. Also the videos were originally posted to unlisted YouTube video links, as they were for a school project and I did not have the consent of the actors to show these to the public, so I would not even consider them available to the public in the past. There is no basis for these being shown in a film database.

there's no video, no proof of production, they were never mentioned by a third party, they weren't screened publicly, and nobody really watched them.

The videos were publicly listed on YouTube, so there's video, there's proof of production, they were screened publicly, and they were available to the public in the past... Sorry.

That's disappointing.

One of the films in question, Chuck Greene: 105° West (2017), has not been "taken down" from YouTube. Rather, the YouTube video settings have been changed to private.

For the other film, Eightball (2016), I have added the keyword "lost-film," since that film does indeed appear to have been removed from YouTube. This is the standard way to handle films that are no longer publicly available.
