Improper genre keywords - "auditing" help needed from the community (new thread)

Since the previous thread has gotten a bit cluttered, I am starting a new thread. 

The purpose of this thread is to track improper genre keywords for "auditing" by the community before the keywords are permanently deleted and blocked by IMDb staff. (These keywords are improper under the guideline that says "repeating genres" in keywords is not allowed.) 

Here is the list of genre keywords that still need to be fully "audited." For each of these keywords, I will post links to the titles that have these keywords but not the corresponding genre.  Once a keyword is deleted and blocked by staff, I will check it off on the list.

Improper genre keywords to audit

children's-show  

corto (Spanish for Short)

fantasia

historical

history-podcast

kids-film

kids-movie

love-story

mysterious

mysterious-case

mysterious-story

mysteriousness

mystery-story

noir-movie

phantasy

✅ real-life-story

Improper Documentary genre keywords to audit

✅ real-incident

✅ real-life-incident

Hey!

Do you think it would be good for me to block them? And then after they are audited I can delete.

Let me know!

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Yes, that would help a lot, particularly with the keywords on the first half of this list. I know for a fact that with certain keywords like "historical," the keywords are continuing to be added to new titles even while we delete them from old titles. This slows down our work in "auditing" the keywords.

Could you please also block these keywords?

mysterious

phantasy

Blocking these keywords will allow for them to be "audited" without new titles being added in the meantime.

@Bethanny​ You no longer have the ability to block keywords yourself?

@Bethanny​ 

The keyword "phantasy" has now been fully audited, so I have added it here to the list of keywords to be deleted and blocked.
