Please reinstate easy deletion of keywords that contain main-genre suffixes (e.g. vietnam-war, environmental-crime, interspecies-romance)

Keywords
When you click on a movie and scroll down to its Keywords, I think there should be a “drop down tab” option for this, just like there is for Parents Guide.

Are these "-available" keywords appropriate? (e.g., "unrated-version-available")
It seems to me that these keywords are improper, since they don't really describe the film. Plus, similar keywords like "available-on-dvd" and "not-on-dvd" have previously been deleted and blocked. Should these keywords be deleted and blocked as well? director's-cut-available (10 titles) dele

Are these "tv-movie" keywords valid?
It would seem that these keywords are not valid, since they replicate information that can be easily searched via the database. As a secondary reason, the keywords do not in any way involve the plots of the titles. (I realize that not all keywords involve plots, so this factor is not dispositive.
