It's already added as a video.

It should be added as a Special.

Says right in the Bible

Blooper episodes, recap episodes, preview episodes, best of episodes, live TV specials, (un)aired pilots, unaired or blacklisted episodes, etc. usually belong in the Specials.

So you should stop deleting outtake episodes too.

Yes, a web series is still a series.

youtube web series are generally not allowed on this site (as per the rules) and usually get deleted (as long as a mod notices it/its brought to the attention of mods from reports).

Youtube web series are not allowed generally: (https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/new_content/59f792cd9251413e93000004#59f7933c9251413e9300000b)

YouTube content:

Short films, feature length films and series uploaded directly on YouTube (excluding YouTube Red original content) are subject to the amateur content guidelines. Popular Youtubers do not qualify for an exemption.

Amateur content guidelines:

Should an amateur project be screened at a selective and relevant film festival (e.g. a small town festival, a youth film festival or the Cannes Short Film Corner do not qualify), have a proper theatre release (e.g. a private/rented screening do not qualify), be on national TV in a country (e.g. small, local channels do not qualify), be on Netflix or an equivalent (e.g. content uploaded to your own YouTube channel, Vimeo or website, or Amazon Prime do not qualify), or picked up and sold by a proper distributor (e.g. local stores do not qualify), it might be allowed.

All non-qualifying entries found in the database will be deleted.

.

Not Supported:

Below is a list of different types of content that we do NOT allow in the database.

Amateur content

exceptions: please read our amateur content guidelines.

EDIT: I believe the crash course web series are youtube web series, and if so, then according to the rules I think they are not allowed. (If I'm mistaken that theyre not youtube web series, then thats different)

Sorry, didn’t check that section first. That guideline applies if it is considered Amateur Content. I think this is not well-defined, and only serves to avoid flooding the platform with every video on YouTube, and presumably at the whims of whoever reviews deletion requests.

I don’t think it’s fair to call Crash Course/Complexly productions amateur, they are used educationally around the world, like Bill Nye the Science Guy but available on YouTube for free instead of as DVDs. I suspect the only reason they’re not on other streaming services is because being free is part of their mission.

It's defined pretty well imo. Content uploaded only on YouTube is considered amateur content- not because it actually is amateur content in its totality but more so it doesn't have a professional release (youtube is a social media site where any user can upload videos- and so a release on youtube is not a professional release). Content released on YouTube only is also called amateur content (even if produced professionally) so that its clear that the same guidelines are applied as the ones given in the guidelines for actual amateur content (eg. student films and series).

"Only" serves to avoid flooding the platform with every YouTube video? That's a great reason for the guidelines to exist. The database would be a mess if every video on YouTube flooded this site and they were all allowed

I don’t think it’s fair to call Crash Course/Complexly productions amateur.

They're only being called amateur for the sake of implementing a good rule. "Amateur" in the context of web series on YouTube simply means, no release on a professional platform. The term is being used to distinguish what is and isnt allowed on the site, not to pass judgement or insult series on youtube.
