Very simple mini bio declined

After a name merge the automatically-generated bio read very strangely so I wrote a slightly extended (50 words is the minimum) mini bio to replace it.

This has been declined: "Does not meet contribution guidelines."

To me it is not at all clear why it does not meet the contribution guidelines - even after reading them.

Who can explain what the problem was?

Could you post an 18 digit submission number to assist staff in looking at the submission in order to advise you. You can find it here: https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history

Thank you.

@VonPunk​ the number is #230312-074544-129000

Thanks for your help. Of course, I may be the one at fault. I'm just trying to understand what the problem is.

@dzseti​ It could've been declined in error but they'll let you know and help you improve the submission if need be, to get it approved.

Hi dzseti-

Thank you for posting the submission reference number! I have taken a further look at it and I can see that a birthdate was added to this mini-bio, you can remove this as birthdates have their own section. I encourage you to make this change and re-submit it so that our editors can take another look for you.   

For more detail information on Mini-Biographies, you are welcome to review our following Help Guide.

Let us know if you have any further questions/issues with it!

Cheers!

@Maya​ thanks for checking this. I left the birth date in because it was already in the automatically generated bio, but will now remove it and see how I get on
