Proposal for merging duplicate "tv" and "television" keywords

There are numerous duplicate keywords on IMDb with "tv" and "television" in them. These keywords should be merged and set up for auto-conversion.

A couple weeks ago, I posted some questions on this topic here.  My post generated some feedback, which I have now incorporated into the proposal below. There are no easy calls here for determining which direction to make each of these mergers. I have drafted this list as best I can, looking for patterns in the keywords.

1. Keywords to Merge in Favor of "tv"   (tv content)

television-ad (5 titles) --> tv-ad (174 titles) --> tv-advert (190 titles) --> tv-advertisement (6 titles)

television-commercial (381 titles) --> tv-commercial (602 titles)

television-interview (205 titles)  -->  tv-interview (345 titles)

television-news (1092 titles) --> tv-news (822 titles)

television-pilot (25 titles) -->  tv-pilot (423 titles)

television-program (52 titles) --> tv-program (67 titles)

television-series (150 titles) --> tv-series (589 titles)

television-show (499 titles) --> tv-show (951 titles) 

2. Keywords to Merge in Favor of "tv"   (keywords that end in "tv")

watching-television (783 titles)  -->  watching-tv (4022 titles)

british-television (30 titles) -->  british-tv (61 titles)

cable-television (57 titles) --> cable-tv (39 titles) 

live-television (776 titles) --> live-tv (38 titles)

local-television (114 titles) --> local-tv (91 titles) 

3. Keywords to Merge in Favor of "television"   (all other keywords)

tv (655 titles) --> television (3333 titles)

tv-actor (14 titles) --> television-actor (40 titles)

tv-actress (5 titles) --> television-actress (41 titles)

tv-broadcast (105 titles) --> television-broadcast (175 titles)

tv-camera (98 titles) --> television-camera (89 titles)

tv-crew (131 titles) --> television-crew (70 titles)

tv-director (54 titles)  --> television-director (57 titles)

tv-host (173 titles) --> television-host (84 titles)

tv-network (31 titles) --> television-network (70 titles)

tv-personality (68 titles)  --> television-personality (20 titles)

tv-presenter (33 titles) --> television-presenter (188 titles) 

tv-producer (125 titles) --> television-producer (157 titles)

tv-reporter (331 titles) --> television-reporter (237 titles)

tv-set (134 titles) --> television-set (453 titles)

tv-star (142 titles) --> television-star (49 titles)

tv-station (134 titles) --> television-station (85 titles)

tv-studio (325 titles)  --> television-studio (182 titles)

4. Miscellaneous Mergers   (inadvertently omitted from prior list)

based-on-television-series (146 titles) -->  based-on-a-television-series (3 titles)  -->  based-on-tv-series (1148 titles)

television-advertisement (174 titles) -->  tv-advertisement (238 titles)

@Michelle 

Thank you so much, Michelle! I also realized that I forgot to include a couple entries in this list. I will add them as a fourth section.

@Michelle​ I just came across this old thread and realized that sections 3 and 4 in my list were not completed. I had forgotten all about this.
