Keyword rejected

I was adding a new keyword for a ghost-hunter-type show (that wasn't it) and the keyword was k-2-meter. This is something very commonly

used in these programs. It was rejected because: "does not meet contribution guidelines."

Tell me what you think is wrong. There is no such detail for that certain item.

Hello there,

How quickly was your contribution rejected? Was it rejected after just a couple minutes, or was it more like days?

I can't think of any specific reason why it would have been rejected, but the most likely culprit is if another contributor modified or deleted your keyword. But that, of course, couldn't have happened if your keyword was rejected shortly after you submitted it.

I do note that there is already a keyword k2-meter (2 titles). Note that this is written like "k2" (without the first hyphen as in your keyword "k-2-meter"). 

Maybe somebody changed "k-2-meter" to "k2-meter" for your submissions?

From what I can tell, the official way to write it is "K2 EMF Meter" or "K2 Meter," and the company that manufactures it is named "K-II Enterprises." (They use Roman numerals in the company name but Arabic numbers in the device name.)

Translated into a keyword, I recommend using  either "k2-meter" (the existing keyword I mentioned previously) or "k2-emf-meter." 

There is also already an existing keyword for emf-meter (7 titles).

p.s. I was able to add the keyword "k-2-meter," and the system acted as if it is an existing keyword (i.e., it didn't ask me to confirm that I wanted to create a new keyword), and my addition of "k-2-meter" showed up on the title within seconds, yet your addition of the same keyword does not show up. Weird.
