Why was my AMV deleted?

Post by ComputerSherpa » Sun May 10, 2009 8:12 pm

Hello! I just discovered that an AMV I uploaded here about a year ago has been deleted, and I'd like to know why. I don't know when it was removed--sometime after last October, which is when it received its last opinion. I was not notified that the video was up for deletion, which is why this is a bit of a shock. Can someone explain why my video was removed?

Avatar is not considered an anime from the definition of anime on this site.

Well yeah because Avatar wasn't made by a Japanese company.

Just in case you have any further plans...don't bother using Teen Titans either...

Well, yeah, I understand that's why I'm not allowed local storage here. But there's an Avatar category, with numerous AMVs in it, some with thousands of hits on them.

When I uploaded the video and selected "Avatar: The Last Airbender" as the anime, the site informed me that I would not be allowed local storage space, but allowed me to continue with the video entry creation process. Are Avatar videos only allowed if they contain some amount of native Japanese animation?

Must be at least 51% real anime to locally host.

That's fine--I have my own hosting. Why was the AMV record in the database deleted, though?

Because it was entirely non-anime.

Because the catalog is only for anime music videos (and as mentioned earlier, Avatar isn't anime by the org's defenition.)

The entry itself is not allowed - irregardless of wheter or not it's on local. They keep records of confirmed non-anime titles as well. It helps with finding things that shouldn't be in the database (people can also make vids with lots of various sources).
