"Unable to verify" Peaky Blinders as a Historical Show.

My reference is here: #220708-181917-254000

I tried to add "History" as a genre for Peaky Blinders. It's set in 1920's Birmingham. How is that not "History"? Even more absurdly, "british-history", and "interwar-period" were accepted in the same ticket as keywords.

I also tried the same for Mad Men and The Queen's Gambit. Again, the same ticket approved "american-history" on both of them. Queen's Gambit and Mad Men is set in the 1960s. Chernobyl, which is set in the late 1980's has a "History" genre. Ticket reference: #220708-181411-442000 and #220708-181541-947000 respectively.

Here is the definition of IMDb's History genre:

History

Primary focus is on real-life events of historical significance featuring real-life characters (allowing for some artistic license); in current terms, the sort of thing that might be expected to dominate the front page of a national newspaper for at least a week; for older times, the sort of thing likely to be included in any major history book. While some characters, incidents, and dialog may be fictional, these should be relatively minor points used primarily to bridge gaps in the record. Use of actual persons in an otherwise fictional setting, or of historic events as a backdrop for a fictional story, would not qualify. If the focus is primarily on one person's life and character, rather than events of historical scope, use Biography instead. Objective.

Examples: Lincoln (2012) |Hidden Figures (2016) | The King's Speech (2010)
