So... here's another genre-infused keyword that needs to be deleted:

"biographical-documentary"

All 64 titles currently with this unnecessary/repeative keyword have both Biography and Documentary as genres.

I have submitted deletions for this erroneous keyword on ALL 64 titles, and the staff HAS NOT ACCEPTED them.

This is one of the subgenre keywords that IMDb has added and listed in the keyword guidelines.

Unnecessary duplication, and a further denigration of genres.

There must be hundreds of other titles that have both Biography and Documentary as genres, but do not have this unnecessary keyword.

When I do a search with the keyword "singer" and add the Biography and Documentary genres, there are 363 titles.  Subtracting the only 8 titles that currently have the questionable "biographical-documentary" keyword, that leaves 355 titles without this questionable keyword! 

And that is just one example.  I speculate that there are hundreds of titles with the Biography and Documentary genres that do not have the "biographical-documentary" keyword, making such searches invalid and useless.

Please, delete the "biographical-documentary" keyword in lieu of the Biography and Documentary genres.

@ IMDB staff:

Since this thread involves "accepted" subgenre keywords, the thread should be merged here: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/introducing-subgenre-plot-timeframe-keywords/61eae11f08dc6165edbd2086
