New Title Submissions Being Declined For No Reason

I recently submitted #260721-214147-129000 and it was instantly rejected by a bot for "Lack of supporting evidence", yet I literally linked to an online copy of the film itself in my submission. If that is not proof of the film's existence, then I really don't know what is. This is the first time that I've ever included proof of a film's existence and still had it rejected for "Lack of supporting evidence", which indicates that the bot is starting to mess up.

#260721-230105-153000 was wrongfully declined for "Lack of supporting evidence" too, even though I provided a link to the film's page on the Indonesian Film Center.

My other title submissions from today (#260721-215956-587000 and #260721-223710-530000) are currently being held up for no reason as well, even though I provided proof of all of them existing too, as I always do.

I have added 1,356 titles to IMDb and this has never happened before. In the past, if I provided any evidence of a film's existence, then the film automatically got approved. Why has IMDb suddenly changed their bot so that all new title submissions get automatically rejected, even when evidence is provided for the new title's validity?

Hi Madotsuki_the_Dreamer2-

Thank you for posting the references! Further reviewing, the only submission not re-submitted was this one #260721-215956-587000. We will need further supporting evidence in order to verify the title. You can re-submit it and we will take another look.

The changes are still in-progress for the ones that were re-submitted.

Cheers!

@Madotsuki_the_Dreamer2- For the titles that were re-submitted, there seems to be an issue. Therefore, I've forwarded this information to the appropriate team for further investigation (Ref Ticket #V2297345191). We'll reply once we receive further information. Thank you for your patience.

@Maya I provided supporting evidence for #260721-215956-587000, but, if that wasn't enough, then here is the film itself on a Chinese streaming platform: https://www.iq.com/album/奋斗吧兄弟-2020-1tkgenf4gsg?lang=en_us

Something weird is happening now. #260722-155706-538000 was re-submitted by staff and then declined again. #260722-185844-196000 was re-submitted by staff, declined again, and then re-submitted by staff another time and approved.

@Maya Thank you. Was the approval bot changed? In the past, this was never a problem. I've submitted well over a thousand new titles to IMDb and all of them were approved without issues.

Also, it looks like some details on #260722-191419-209000 and #260722-195316-945000 are still being held up and likely to be declined.

#260722-191419-209000 is based on Stephen King's short story "The Boogeyman": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK0aFKahK0k

#260722-195316-945000 stars Miao Xie (who is even featured prominently on the poster): https://movie.douban.com/subject/35231131/

Please approve these details.
