titles declined "for lack of evidence"

when it is self evident

while the database is full of noname small youtubers, a submission that is the first result in search engines with several professional actors who are already in database  gets instantly declined for no reason

instead of like one hour per title now each title wastes three days of volunteers time

and all of that while any obvious fanart gets instantly approved and uploaded and allowed to replace the primary image

Hi @agof -

Thanks for your feedback. I understand the frustration you are experiencing with these declined titles, especially given the contribution effort.

In order for us to investigate these instances, can you post the submission reference numbers associated with some of the most recent declined titles?

Hi @agof​ -

Thanks for providing this example.  I have raised this with the team to investigate further, as soon as I have the relevant details I will update you here.

Hi @agof -

After reviewing your submission and consulting with the team, I can confirm that the title was declined because there was no URL evidence provided to help us verify the eligibility and existence of the title.  I can't say for certain if this is the case for the other declined titles you mentioned, as I didn't review them, however, if there was no verifying URL provided it's likely they were declined for this reason as well.

For general information on what kinds of title evidence we are looking for, I encourage you to review our Help Guide.  Once you have included evidence to accompany your title submissions, you can submit them again and our staff will take another look.

I hope this helps!

but that is an absolutely useless demand. i submitted hundreds of titles without any useless urls before

only a minority of titles have urls. what url has citizen kane?

and they accept any random url. i just included a random useless UGC url i found in search and it was accepted. the same useless url they could find. if i included any url containing actual proof they wouldn't be able to even understand it because it'd be one string in some foreign text only legal registry with no pictures

the demand serves no function

Hello agof,

As mentioned by Michelle, we do not approve titles without URL evidence and is mentioned in our Help Guides. Feel free to re submit with valid evidence attached on the submission to take a look for you!
