Question: Which data type tracks it here? https://contribute.imdb.com/times
Is it "Title Core"? or none of it?

@Michelle
I wasn’t even aware of this addition until earlier this month, when it first appeared on my “Edit Page” list (I missed last year’s announcement). Now it comes and goes, and I never know when it will appear. Can you folks figure out why Delete Title doesn’t always show up?
On 3 August 2023, I used the Help Desk to delete an episode of a news/talk show I monitor (series title const /tt27722982/) because the show was preempted, and whoever handled it assumed that I wanted to delete the entire listing for the program, which started in May 2023. I resubmitted the information, noting that I wanted to delete only the one episode. The answer directed me to use the “Edit Page” button and select “Delete Title” option, which wasn’t listed. Since then, 2 more episodes have been preempted.
Here is the information I sent to delete that episode. If you can delete it, I would appreciate it. Here is the information I sent:
ORIGINAL MESSAGE
Title to be deleted: "Chris Plante: The Right Squad” - Episode dated 1 August 2023
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28514285/reference/
Relationship: contributor
This episode should be deleted because it never aired. It was preempted due to coverage on NewsmaxTV of the announcement of the latest criminal indictments against former US president Donald Trump.
“Chris Plante: The Right Squad” is scheduled Monday-Friday at 9:00pm Eastern Time. It is normally preceded by “Eric Bolling: The Balance” (series title const: tt15185844). On Tuesday, 1 August, “Eric Bolling: The Balance” was extended from one hour to two hours, preempting “Chris Plante”.
The August 1 episode of “Eric Bolling: The Balance” can be viewed here: https://www.newsmaxtv.com/Shows/Eric-Bolling-The-Balance/vid/1_51zeuwhs
When the program starts, note that it is scheduled to last two hours (1:59:39). At the 59-minute mark Mr. Bolling mentions that the show will continue.
On the NewsmaxTV page for “Chris Plante: The Right Squad”, there is an episode listed for August 1, and is available here: https://www.newsmaxtv.com/Shows/Chris-Plante-Right-Squad/vid/1_ye198gxl
It is actually the second hour of Eric Bolling's August 1 episode referenced above. When the program opens, there is a “Breaking News” card on the screen. Eric Bolling then appears on screen for another hour, interviewing guests. There is no mention of Chris Plante’s show being cancelled that night, and all graphics are for Eric Bolling’s show.
