A certain and one of my favorite lists is not on people's "Lists Related to" pages
Hey I notice this while going on IMDb, it's that for some reason my list "List of filmmakers that directed music videos of songs for Academy Award nominated movies: An Oscar Legends spin-off list" is not on the people who are on that list's "Lists Realeted to" pages for some reason. Is there a time thing for the list to be on? Do I need to do something to get the list on that Lists Related To page? Is there something wrong with the system right now? Or having lists inloving music videos and commericals are not good for that? Let me know what it is and I will fix it or something.

@alex_hartsell No individual list is guaranteed to appear in the "Related Lists" section of the name/title page which includes that item, sorry.
First of all, a list needs to be public before it qualifies to be included, whereas your list is not public even if it may appear so to you (you can confirm by trying to open the list in a private/incognito browser tab). If you have not set your list to be public then please do so. If your list is already public then it will still be private if the list does not meet IMDb's policies ... from https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/track-movies-tv/lists-faq/GNQMN47VZSE7KW38 see:
Can I include external links (URLs) to other sites from within my List?
We have recently updated our List policies, with a change to disallow external URLs (non-IMDb links) in List titles, descriptions, and notes (i.e., item descriptions). You can still include links to other IMDb pages in all List fields.
You will need to edit the list description and any notes fields to comply with the policy to make the list truly public.
Next, there is a limit of 1,000 items on the "Related Lists" subpage, and on popular pages the item could appear on tens or hundreds of thousands of lists so there is a probability element in-play here.
Finally, certain (undisclosed) factors apply on the selection, therefore, there is nothing you can specifically do beyond the list being public to get it added to "Related Lists."
Hope this helps.
