Keyword william-shakespeare added in the past few months #3

In two previous threads, (https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/keyword-william-shakespeare-added-in-the-past-month) and (https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/keyword-william-shakespeare-added-in-the-past-month-2), I pointed out that william-shakespeare was a keyword attached to one or more titles, even though the guide (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/keywords/GXQ22G5Y72TH8MJ5?ref_=helpms_helpart_inli...#) states that standalone names shouldn't be keywords. Be that as it may and despite the fact that Jaime took appropriate action five months ago (see the first link) the keyword has once again resurfaced: https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=william-shakespeare

So, once again, I'd like to ask a staffer to delete this keyword, contact the person that added it and block "william-shakespeare" as a keyword. I also kindly ask all contributors NOT to delete this keyword (because otherwise, IMDb might not fix this issue: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/keyword-william-shakespeare-added-in-the-past-month-2?topic-...).

Hi Marco -

I have now removed this ineligible keyword and blocked it for future submissions.

Cheers!

Instead of just deleting it, the keyword should have been audited to see if it qualified for another related keyword, i.e. william-shakespeare-character, reference-to-william-shakespeare, etc.  What title was involved?  Oh, well....

(If you are looking for "ineligible keywords" that need to be "blocked for future submissions," I would gladly give you a list.)

From now on, we'll never again see the wrong keyword william-shakespeare. I think that's a good thing.
And as you know, I don't delete standalone names: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/standalone-names-shouldnt-be-keywords?topic-reply-list[setti...
