Request to delete plot summary Devil's Feud Cake

In contribution 190813-140236-995000, I tried to delete the last part of the plot summary for Devil's Feud Cake (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056990/plotsummary) because it described the very last scene of this title. However, it got declined, probably because the summary got too short to be one. There's already a plot outline listed for this title and there can't be two, so therefore I'd like to ask a staffer to delete this summary altogether.

Hi Marco -

The update you reported regarding this Plot Summary has now been approved and the changes (eliminating the spoiler content) will be live on the site shortly.  Cheers!

Thanks for removing the spoiler, but shouldn't it be deleted altogether? It's not a plot summary anymore due to the new length (225 characters) and there is already a plot outline listed for this title.

Hi Marco,

The problem here is that the summary is still useful, regardless of the shorter character length. If you feel you can flesh it out further then please submit an update and we'll be happy to take a look.

Thanks,
Will

Will, I don't really follow.
This plot summary goes against your own guides. Apart from that, the first sentence doesn't describe the plot of this title and should/could be deleted. That would leave a plot summary of 112 characters. I don't see how that is useful.

If you would have read my OP, you would have known that submitting an update doesn't work because it gets declined because the plot summary becomes/is too short.

Ah, okay, I see.
That said, I have stated my case why I think it should be deleted altogether and I don't want to take the time to write a plot summary (after all, I have just semi-retired from updating :) ).
