Considering its popularity and presentation, would it be a good idea to add Alan Becker's Animator vs. Animation series to TMDB? If I search for "Animator vs Animation TMDB" in a regular search engine, it pulls up results that direct to a "page not found" page, which indicates to me that people have previously attempted to add Animator vs. Animation and its spinoffs to TMDB, only to have them be deleted. If this is the case, may I know why? Alan Becker's work certainly ought to qualify as a television show, even if it is on YouTube, considering how he has numbered and organized episodes into series and seasons. There are currently three seasons of Animator vs. Animation, four seasons of Animator vs. Minecraft, four episodes of Animation vs. Education, two seasons of An Actual Short, three episodes of the Influencer Arc miniseries, and a slew of unorganized special episodes.
TMDB Moderators, may I please add Alan Becker's work to the TMDB? I realize it's a YouTube series, but I would consider it a high quality television show(s), and it is undeniably exceedingly popular.
EDIT: Having reviewed the Amateur Content guidelines, I understand why Alan Becker's work has been challenged on this site, and that popularity does not qualify it for exemption. I personally still believe that Animator vs. Animation and its spinoffs have a place on TMDB, and that Alan's work goes far beyond that of an amateur, but I cannot challenge TMDB's stance under the current guidelines. I urge TMDB to reconsider regardless, but I understand that TMDB has to maintain a high standard of quality, and that most YouTube content does not belong on this site.

The best course of action here would be to keep an eye on it and come back to us if the series ever gets a professional distribution deal.
